Memory's Seams: Scarcity and Preciousness in Earth Pigments
A naturally occurring carbon-based 'mineral black' mined from ancient flood seams in North Devon, England, Bideford black embodies the contradictions of modernity, and how it is felt at social and bodily scales.

Focusing on contemporary First Nations art – a form of cultural production that is often framed as a national resource and deployed to manage settler−indigenous relations – this article considers how settler−indigenous negotiations around territory find a…
