Agri/Culture 2.0 will, in the summer of 2021, present to the public a report Kestle Barton commissioned in 2020 to examine ways of reintegrating the 56 hectares of farmland at Kestle Barton into an experimental site for artists, agro-ecologists, academics, farmers, writers and the local community to work to together on new forms of experimental and creative land management.
We are having a launch event on Saturday the 7th August, from 11am – 11pm with artists talks, orchard tours and workshops; in the evening I will be hosting a presentation of my performance/reading group Bibliotherapy for the Anthropocene followed by an off grid disco hosted by Robin Mackay of the philosophy publishing house Urbanomic. Some camping spaces are available if you are that way inclined – please get in touch if so. Further info below and via this link.
7th August Launch event from 11am – 11pm.
7th – 13th Interactive Display on show in the Studio at Kestle Barton during opening hours.
