Waste is political. Waste is social. Waste is economic, ecological, and colonial. It embodies traces of the past and imaginaries of the future. In this book, artists, designers, and art scholars discuss the perception and handling of waste materiality, including practical approaches to coexistence. Exploring transnational narratives of material traces, the contributions examine the interplay of representation, temporality, and technology. Attentive to the accumulated leftovers of previous generations and the unsettling prospect of a 'new world disorder', the publication emphasizes interconnectedness and dependency within a more-than-human world. Against the backdrop of a postcolonial understanding of material culture and the implications of the Anthropocene, how could a multi-perspective conception of waste in space and time be embraced?
