Volunteer

do you have a keen interest in the ethics of jewellery?

would you like to  help facilitate change and share knowledge?

then  volunteer a few hours / days / weeks -  to  help compile & format information  so it  can be share widely.

 

Ute has compiled an enormous amout of information -  to be published it  needs to be organized,  categorized and formated  (such as the still very messy section at the end of the page)

 

If you would like to help, get in touch

Swiss Psychotropic Gold


Switzerland plays a central role in the global commodity trade with gold and especially in its refining. Having fueled early modern industrialization as well as contemporary finance, Swiss trading and refining activities have influenced vivid cultural, affective and moral economies. They have contributed to Swiss wealth, but also to national narratives of independence, safety and white supremacy. The volume follows the entanglements of the global metabolism of gold by tracking down the elusive and often invisible paths of molecules, affects and violence: Swiss Psychotropic Gold.
