PANELS

The panels held in Bergama and Soma, and the discussions in Ayvalık, within the scope of the project, open up discussions on the environmental, social, and economic impacts of energy transition from different perspectives. Topics ranging from the dispossession processes created by renewable energy investments to the effects of phasing out coal on labor and livelihoods are addressed with the participation of academics, artists, local actors, and workers. These meetings aim to contribute to the establishment of dialogue between different fields of knowledge and experience, while connecting discussions on environmental justice and just transition with local experiences.

The "Between Contradictions, Possibilities, and Utopias" cultural and artistic project is a transdisciplinary initiative that, following the 2014 mining disaster in Soma, which became a focal point of academic efforts, examines the transition from coal mining to renewable energy through the concepts of "environmental justice" and "just transition," while simultaneously discussing the impact of renewable energy plants opened in nearby Bergama and Ayvalık on the local context through exhibitions, film screenings, workshops, panels, and talks, all centering on the concept of "dispossession."
