Gluttonius the 2022
A podcast that explores the notions of extractivism through the works of Santiago Reyes Villaveces—an artist based in Bogota and Ambalema. In this dialogue, we employ the framework of extractivism to scrutinise the politics that perpetuate imposing power relations.
Santiago's work serves as a good example, demonstrating that extractivism transcends the boundaries of Earth's surface, extending its reach into outer space and back to our planet.

The podcast also features a fictive interview with the monster of extractivism, called Gluttonius 2022 – a legendary extractive monster who swallows the world with great pleasure, described by a certain Karl Marx as a vampire who lives only by sucking living labor.
