In this talk, Rachel O'Reilly will address concepts emerged from her ongoing project 'The Gas Imaginary', initiated in 2013 following the birth of the Australian unconventional gas industry through Gladstone on Gooreng Gooreng land. Using poetry, collaborative drawings, film and public talks O'Reilly's work tracks continuities and differences between the mining regimes of colonial modernism and new forms currently moving across borders in the contemporary era.
