Agro-Centric Thinking
A Pathway to a Collective Biographical Imagination?
Workshop as part of The New Alphabet School edition on #Caring at HKW in collaboration with M.1 Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung (June 2020)
With Andreas Doepke, hn. lyonga
In this dialog-centric workshop, participants will explore how agriculture is related to caring. Can agriculture maintain its presence across personal biographies, even after its practices have been abandoned during one’s own life or in previous generations? The participants will discuss how the ”fixity” of land as an infrastructure leaves tangible and intangible traces within us. How could these vestiges be activated as a resource that reinvigorates the ties between the rural and the urban? In a “round table” conversation, potentials of this knowledge of caring for self, a rural community, for land, plants, and animals will be scrutinized. Whether in the form of nostalgia or the cardinal principle of providing shelter, food, access to education and a strong sense of accountability, the inheritance of caring for land translates to many other contexts and may help to enhance a collective future.
