Under/Valued Energetic Economy (a term inspired by Alexis Pauline Gumbs) is an installation and work in progress which maps out the tangled ecology between “activism”, “arts” and “academia”. Presented on a trestle table top with headphones to listen to a podcast episode titled Building land and racial justice (Josina from LION). The piece references the artist’s interest in kitchen-table conversations and the knowledges that are produced by them, the work highlights informal strategies of organising, creativity and collectivity as valuable. It also explores alternative archiving of his/her/their stories.
