A four-volume compendium of interviews, essays, poems, manifestos and images on extractivist colonialism
Stemming from an exhibition project begun in 2010 at the Reina Sofia and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Potosí Principle Archive collects historical and contemporary sources, interviews, essays, poems and art examining the persistence of the extractivist logic that began with the conquest of South America. The four volumes are structured around Extractivism, Labor, Debt, Inquisition, Machine Capitalism, Decolonization Practices and Artistic Doing.
