Left to be Desired Episode 13: Terike Haapoja
Episode 13 of the SAVA podcast Left to be Desired features a conversation with artist and researcher Terike Haapoja.
Left to Be Desired is available to listen to on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music/Audible and Audacy. You can also access it via the podcast website: https://lefttobedesired.libsyn.com/site
Left to Be Desired explores the distinctiveness of the socialist path through the Anthropocene by bringing together artistic and scholarly insights into the ecologies of global socialism. Maja & Reuben Fowkes invite artists and researchers to talk about their practice and exchange ideas at the intersection of ecology, climate change, art and the Socialist Anthropocene.

This episode of Left to be Desired was recorded in the Sainsbury Centre University of East Anglia on the occasion of sixth SAVA Research Week on Eco-Socialist Alliances that stretch across global geographies but also traverse species boundaries. Focusing on Terike Haapoja's work in reimagining planetary histories from a more-than-human perspective, the podcast deals with the project History According to Cattle, shedding light on the forms of oppression and exploitation faced by animals in the intensive farming systems of the Anthropocene and raising the question of whether and how things were or could be different under socialism. At the core of Haapoja's art-activist project (Against) Animal Capitalism is not just the exploration of how nonhumans are relentlessly subjugated through mechanisms of value accumulation, but also the goal of rekindling of multispecies solidarities that recognize animals as part of the working class.
Terike Haapoja is an interdisciplinary visual artist. Her large scale installations, writings, and collaborations explore the possibility of nonviolent coexistence across differences, with a specific focus on multispecies politics. While rooted in environmental thought and drawing from critical animal studies and posthumanism, Haapoja's work is in dialogue with intersectional feminist and post-colonial discourses, critically reflecting on structures of exclusion that emerge from Western traditions. Haapoja is currently working on a long term project '[Against] Animal Capitalism' that seeks to build a foundation for a multispecies left politics. She is the co-editor of seven publications on art and politics/environment, and her work has been exhibited widely in solo and group shows internationally. Haapoja represented Finland in the 55th Venice Biennale with a solo show in the Nordic Pavilion.
