V2_Events: LIFE & ART: TransAgriculture

Two-day seminar/event, December 18, 19

Banks are falling, the temperature is rising, the food in our
supermarkets is expensive and, what's more, we can't trust it. We are
witnessing the bankruptcy of industrialized agriculture and the notion
that we can control nature, culture and society. In our research
programme Life & ART 1: TransAgriculture, we use today’s rapidly
transforming agriculture as the starter engine – in a technological,
artistic, social, cultural, political, economic and gastronomic sense –
to challenge artists to harness the full potential of things to come.
Grow your own future!
