Physical sites of extraction are produced by spatial practices, power relations, and cultural narratives and are material expressions of their resulting inequities. Transitions in these places offer opportunities for landscape architects to examine and engage generatively with realignments of these forces.
Throughout colonisation, Victoria’s Latrobe Valley has been a site of extractivism. The current transition away from coal extraction brings great uncertainty for these landscapes and communities, as traditional methods of transition planning obfuscate intersecting complexities. This expanded mapping practice seeks to expose and critique mis/alignments between spatial realities and prevailing landscape narratives of the past, present and future through novel audio-visual configurations.
