Começa assim:«Europe’s supply chains are scattered all over the globe: our chocolate comes from Ivory coast and our coffee from Brazil; our clothes have been fabricated in Asia and the spare parts of our mobile phones come from all around the world. Control over such large supply chains is easily lost—possibly even on purpose, as companies tend to take advantage of the humanitarian situation of countries with poor living and working conditions to produce more cheaply.

Chocolate? It is estimated that around 1.6 million children between the ages of five and 17 work in cocoa production in Ghana and the Ivory Coast. Coffee?

OUTI PIESKI | «Discover visual artist Outi Pieski’s exploration of identity, culture and environment»

 

«Discover visual artist Outi Pieski’s exploration of identity, culture and environment - Outi Pieski is a Sámi visual artist based in Ohcejohka (Utsjoki), Finland. This will be her first large-scale exhibition in the UK.
Pieski's paintings and installations explore several themes, including the culture and identity of the Sámi people – who live in the region of Sápmi, which now includes the northern part of Scandinavia and Kola peninsula in Russia.
In many of her projects, she incorporates duodji (the traditional craft practices of the Sámi people) using materials such as wood and textile. For Pieski, duodji is also a way of revitalising connections between past and future generations.
Through this thought-provoking show, Pieski raises important questions around ancestral return, indigenous people’s rights, and the relationship between humans, animals and nature». Saiba mais.
