"Extraction: Art on the Edge of the Abyss is a multimedia, multi-venue, cross-border art intervention that will investigate extractive industry in all of its forms (from mining and drilling, to the reckless exploitation of water, soil, trees, marine life, and other natural resources). The project seeks to expose and interrogate extraction's negative social and environmental consequences, from the damage done to people, especially indigenous and disenfranchised communities, to ravaged landscapes and poisoned water, to climate change and its many troubling implications."--Inside front cover
