A reader of “Cobalt Red” shared with me this powerful image he created.
It echoes the schematic of the Brookes Slave Ship uncovered by the great abolitionist Thomas Clarkson.
Clarkson turned the image into a poster and distributed it across England. The brutal geometry of the slave trade shocked the public and inspired a wave of protest, making it the first image in the history of human rights to go viral.
The point is not a blanket criticism of EVs, but to levy due critique on the violent nature of EV battery supply chains. These abuses can be remedied, should there be will to do so. So far, there has not been.
That is why it is imperative that we employ our creative talents to spread awareness of the truth, just as the original abolitionists did, until the injustices are set right. #cobaltred

The fiery speech by Burkina Faso President Captain Ibrahim Traore. It reflects the resilience of Africa in fighting against imperialism. The renaissance of economic stability and African socialism will transform this continent. President William Ruto has also been calling for self-reliance and stabilization of our economy to get rid of overdependency to foreign aid. Viva Africa.
