Toxic Inheritance: A Graphic Essay
The graphic essay Toxic Inheritance by anthropologist Amelia Fiske in collaboration with graphic designer Jonas Fischer gives intimate insights into the effects of oil extraction in the Ecuadorean rainforest. Based on Fiske’s ethnographic PhD project, the essay visualizes the different types of hazardous waste emitted by the oil industry in the Ecuadorean Amazon, ranging from oil spills to gas flaring. Get to know what toxicity means to people living just on top of oilfields in the middle of the rainforest.

Toxic Relationships: Uncovering the Worlds of Hazardous Waste
Modern societies’ hazardous by-products cast a dark shadow over the planet. A threat to humans and the environment alike, hazardous waste comes in many guises: discarded batteries, asbestos, giant ships, or tailings from mining operations. While these objects might not seem dangerous at first sight, they have characteristics and components that make them potentially deadly. This virtual exhibition gives you an insight into the obscure world of hazardous waste, its questionable trade across the globe, and the people successfully fighting for safe and just waste management. The Hazardous Travels research team takes you on a journey both into our research and to the edges of our societies that many prefer not to see.
