EURO—VISION is an art-led enquiry that explores the extractivist gaze of European institutions and their policies. The relationship between international relations, trade, economic policy and military operations come into focus through the lens of 🇪🇺 🪨 Critical Raw Materials 🇪🇺 ⚒️ In 2008, the European Commission adopted the Critical Raw Materials Initiative, which defined a strategy for accessing resources viewed as imperative to the EU’s subsistence (then including the UK) 📘 📄 Resource criticality is measured according to supply risk and economic importance 📊 📈 Policies are thus drawn up to ensure the continued availability of materials deemed critical. Such policies have led to agreements guiding climate injustice and geological exhaustion of the Global South 🌎🌍🌏 The current list, revised in 2024, includes 30 materials, including Cobalt ⚙️ Rubber 🌳 Phosphate 🪨 and the newly added Lithium 🔋 and Titanium 🦾 EURO—VISION focuses on the inscriptive operations of such initiatives, such as the establishment of Free Trade Zones 📦 FTZs 📦, fisheries partnerships agreements 📄 FPAs📄, and de-risking investment tools like public-private partnerships 🔖 PPPs 🔖
