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)…
