The project aims to generate a better understanding of the imagination, governance and materialization of sustainability in the domain of artisanal and small-scale gold mining in Ghana. It is part of the international research consortium ‘Gold Matters: Exploring Transformations to Sustainability in Artisanal and Small-scale Gold Mining’. The objective of the ‘Gold Matters’ project is to consider whether a transformative approach towards sustainability can arise in Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining (ASGM). ‘Gold Matters’ is a comparative trans-continental and trans-national project, which focuses on the regions South America, West Africa and East Africa. It involves collaboration with, among others, photographers from NUKU Studios, Ghana, and the Museum of Ethnography of Material Culture, The Netherlands.
