After Oil 1

Thirty-five artists and researchers came together in Edmonton for the inaugural After Oil School. Over four days, they considered the cultural strategies available to trigger and expedite a large-scale energy transition.

They asked how energy reshapes political agency; how its use is entwined with narratives of modernity and environment; and what scenarios are available for imagining our energy future.

A collectively authored outcome.

The result was After Oil, published by Petrocultures and West Virginia University Press in 2016.
