Round Table: Landscapes and Logics of Extractivism
Imani Jacqueline Brown,
Imani Jacqueline Brown
Imani Jacqueline Brown is an artist, activist, and researcher from New Orleans.
Her work investigates the continuum of extractivism, which spans from colonial genocide and
slavery to contemporary fossil fuel production and enfolds police and corporate impunity.
These investigations expose the layers of violence and resistance that comprise the
foundations of U.S. society and imagine a horizon of ecological reparations. Imani received
her MA with distinction from the Centre for Research Architecture (CRA) at Goldsmiths,
University of London, in 2019. She is currently an economic inequality fellow with Open
Society Foundations, a researcher with Forensic Architecture, a visiting researcher at the
CRA, and a visiting lecturer in Environmental Architecture at the Royal College of
Art.
