The effects of our species, our traces, our stories, are written into rocks. Like a camera, they record our delusional drive towards extinction, and bear witness to our collective past. Rocks are alive.
Excavations explores the way systems of oppression perpetuate the Capitalocene, and the complicated role the camera plays in our violent, racist past and present through photography, collage and fire.
Naomi White is an abolitionist feminist, artist, and educator, working on ideas at the intersection of political ecology and photography. Throughout her work White addresses an array of complex contemporary issues, questioning dominant ethics and narratives throughout history, and asking how we can shift our focus away from the current racist, capitalist model of domination to one of equity and collective voice, for the sake of all people, animals and the planet.
