Welcome Collection

Accompany us on our first, tentative journey into a set of lithium worlds, diverse, but entwined by the coveted metal.

In this collection we get a first glimpse in how distinct the worlds connected by lithium can be. In Potosí it rouses citizens, while in other places it entangles itself with distinct worlds – with Río Grande, where it almost seamlessly seems to continue past industrial endeavours; with the life of a salt worker and tourist guide, who now shares a salt flat with a transnational company; and it brings a media and cultural studies scholar to venture out and gather stories about a salt flat.
