Workshop #2: Agro-Centric Thinking: A Pathway to a Collective Biographical Imagination?

by Andreas Doepke and hn. lyonga  in cooperation with Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), Berlin and M.1 Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung (Sascia Bailer), 2020 

This dialog-centric workshop was created in the context of the New Alphabet school on the topic of #Caring. It explored how agriculture is related to caring and care work. It presented the following question; Can agriculture maintain its presence across personal biographies, even after its practices have been abandoned during one’s own life or in previous generations? While looking at 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?
