After Oil
The After Oil project, created by the Petrocultures Research Group, is a collaborative forum for exploring how society can move beyond fossil fuels. Thirty-five artists and researchers were invited to collectively discuss, debate, and provide answers about the challenges that living in a petroculture poses for energy transition. They acknowledge that energy transitions are not just a technical issue, but also cultural and political.

Four key questions:
Four key questions:
- Considering historical precedence, what cultural strategies are available to trigger and expedite a large-scale transition of energy regimes?
- How does the problem of energy force us to rethink our traditional notions and categories of political agency?
- How is the use of energy entwined with representations and narratives about modernity and the environment? Correspondingly, how do artistic productions reflect, critique, and inform our understanding and use of energy?
- What range of scenarios is currently on the table for imagining our future with energy?

Naomi Klein highlights the inequality marginalized communities face as they bear the greatest costs through "sacrifice zones" and stresses that real change requires collective activism, political pressure, and systemic transformation that links climate solutions with social and economic justice.

In the video, David Suzuki says we've chosen politics and economics over the environment. Suzuki warns that humanity has lost the fight against climate change because politics and economics have been prioritized over science for decades. He emphasizes that systemic change is needed to protect the environment, as incremental measures within current systems are unlikely to be enough.

Across Canada, 39 oil and gas companies and 12 fossil fuel industry organizations are involved in funding and developing K-12 education. The fossil fuel industry has a vested interest in making sure our kids don’t understand climate change, referred to as “petro-pedagogy.”
