Join us at e-flux on Thursday, June 1 at 7pm for “No Milk, No Love! Resourcification as Production of Territory,” a talk by Asia Bazdyrieva.

Asia Bazdyrieva’s recent research tests the hypothesis that, through colonial expansionist projects of both Western European states and the Russian Empire—operating through cartography, texts, images, geological prospecting, etc.—the territories of present-day Ukraine were imaged and imagined as a site of inexhaustible resources that can feed the entire world. Following her text “No Milk, No Love” published in e-flux journal in 2022, she will discuss the sociotechnical imaginaries that contribute to the making of a resource through the arrangement of substances, technologies, discourses, and practices deployed by different kinds of actors. She will talk about the politics of space and scale that have been enacted through such processes, resulting in multiple actualizations of colonialism and imperialism, including Russia’s ongoing war, and including current geopolitical rearrangements in pursuit of energy security and energy sovereignty.

This talk is organized in collaboration with Kyiv to LA, made possible by a generous grant from Nora McNeely Hurley and the Manitou Fund. With special thanks to Asha Bukojemsky.
