The Pilbara is an immense, arid, and thinly populated territorial crust in the north of Western Australia. Since the first colonial incursions, the progressive “discovery” of its rich mineral deposits has transformed the region into a spatio-temporal battlefield of expulsions, explosions, and exploitation perpetrated in the name of the Commonwealth’s extractivist mythologies. The project Pilbara Interregnum takes the opportunity offered by the current energy paradigm shift to put in crisis the extractivist, colonial, and capitalist mythologies that are turning this region – and the rest of the planet – into sacrificed areas.
