Plantation Plot at Ilham Gallery KL

It is the plantation plot exhibition, on the politics and the violence of the monoculture plantation world. There is an Anna Tsing reference. The colonialism of commodities such as rubber and palm which are underwritten by servitude labor and modern day migrant workers from Bangladesh and Bihar. The exhibition ends next month, and is a must visit as it is truly a high level public history work of education, although at the atas Ilham Gallery, where the visitor demographic is also well-heeled. The Coolie Chorus Documentary is on the music of pathos in the plantation of Tamizh workers. The exhibition spans from the Chittagong Hill Tracts to Sabah to Peru. The mapping of the world for resource exploitation still continues under the garb of data centres, green credits and solar farms. The question that arises is: who really benefits from the so called green transition, and is it the Wayang Kulit of the post carbon era?
