Summary:

"This sixth broadsheet in the SDUK series rounds out a sustained engagement with climate change, environmental crisis, and resilience that has taken place across mul­tiple sites in Mississauga throughout 2018- 19. Concluding this series, though by no means ceasing the Blackwood's work on climate justice, this issue reflects on how to reckon with, and move forward, in an age of ecological anxiety and accumulat­ing destruction-with hope, but also with urgency. As in the return of fire to land­ scape conservation documented in Zack­ery Hobler's cover image, FORGING looks to artistic, poetic, political, and scientific catalysts to re-enliven suppressed or way­ laid knowledges in favour of a more live­able future. Readers may begin by wondering what futures we inherit, forged out of ex­tractive industries. Articles by Orit Halp­ern and Michael DiRisio explore the leg­acies and contemporary conditions of met­als and mining-Halpern untangling the gold industry's turn towards datafication (p. 10), and DiRisio narrating a social and environmental history of nickel (p. 23). Thirza Cuthand confronts extractivism in an artist project that ties together trauma, uncertainty, and queer and Indigenous futurity (p. 20). Historically-minded readers may be ask­ing: What strategies do we have for understanding how past(s) and pre­ sent(s) may guide future action? Artist projects in this issue use tactics of ob­servation to see a way forward: from div­ination at the shores of Lake Ontario in a Turkish coffee reading by Alize Zorlu­tuna (p. 14); to studies of weather and prayers for collective healing by Erin Rob­insong (p. 8); to a meditation on the co­lonial apparatus of cartography and a call to re-account for territory by Bonnie Devine (p. 6). Joy Xiang narrates a history of debt and climate reparations, advo­cating for an expansive and relational view of debt (p. 22)..."-- provided by distributor.
