The workshop is structured along two thematic roundtables: The first focuses on mining, extraction, and dereliction, asking how extractive industries not only materially transform landscapes, but also use narratives of abandonment and sacrifice to normalize dispossession and foreclose alternative land uses. The second roundtable turns to land, conservation, and curated escapes, discussing how conservation and related initiatives re-frame landscapes as sites of well-being, leisure and escape; building on longer histories of exclusion and contributing new forms of elite capture under the guise of climate mitigation.
