It was an honor to have our work exhibited at Tate Modern with Youth Climate Collaborative during London Climate Action Week (London Climate Action Week ), at the exact moment when the heat wave reached its most intense point on record 🚨
⏰ There was a clarity to the timing. Resource wars, data centers, and the other extractive infrastructures of the global minority are so often built to be invisible — tucked away in the global majority, out of sight of the populations whose comfort they subsidize. But climate change refuses that kind of concealment. It is not an abstraction or a policy debate; it is embodied. It is heat on skin. And on a day when London hit 37 degrees, that fact became impossible to outsource or defer. The heat did not distinguish between the global minority and the global majority — it arrived, on everyone, at once.
That is, in some ways, the argument our work has always tried to make: that the violences of extraction are not distant or abstract, but are carried in bodies, felt on skin, lived in communities long before they are legible as data. To have that argument confirmed by the weather itself, inside the walls of one of the world’s most influential art institutions, during the week the world was meant to be talking about climate — that felt like more than coincidence. It felt like the room was finally catching up to what communities on the frontlines of extraction have always known — not simply naming injustice, but feeling it — including those usually insulated from it.
