FORAGING, GLEANING: ARTISTIC METHODS AGAINST THE VIOLENCE OF WASTING
DR ROS GRAYENOUGH! ART IN A FINITE WORLD CONFERENCE, AALTO UNIVERSITY, HELSINKI
| Dr Ros Gray delivered the keynote lecture 'Foraging, Gleaning: Artistic Methods Against the Violence of Wasting', which explores how foraging and gleaning are embodied practices that persist at the margins of colonial modernity, cultivating more-than-human relations to land and alternative economies that challenge the violence of wasting. The lecture was presented at the international conference Enough! Art in a Finite World, held at Aalto University in Helsinki in April 2026 and organised by Dr Josephine Berry and Dr Alejandro Pedregal Villodres. |
