Oxford University Museum of Natural History is seeking to commission a work of contemporary art to coincide with the next exhibition, 34: THE CRITICAL RAW MATERIALS SHAPING OUR FUTURE. We use raw materials extracted from the earth in almost all of our technology, from tea cups to electric cars. These technologies, and the materials that make them, are critical to our ability to survive and thrive as societies. We are looking for work that explores themes related to the exhibition including: environmental cost of mining, labour and human rights, the green energy transition, geological processes, and human technology use.
Prize Summary:
Up to £7000
