Agricultural artistic residency by Ker in collaboration with Teveriva Cooperativa Bio, Tuscania (Italy), 2023
co-curation with Gaia Mencagli and Camilla Ramaccini
Ascolti di Terra is an artistic residency that intertwines agriculture and art, intending to affect, question, and deepen the relationship between humans and the land.
For the first iteration of Ascolti di Terra, we invited a group of international and local artists to spend ten days at the organic farm Teveriva Cooperativa Bio. During the residency, the artists engaged in daily agricultural work while opening up their ongoing artistic research with the farmers and the local community through artistic laboratories and performative actions.

Over the course of one week, a group of international and local artists share their individual practices, proposing actions that are carried out with the entire group and with the local community. Practices of walking, pottery, building, collecting, dancing, reading, and dreaming together, take place in the studio and public spaces.
Resonances was dedicated to strengthening the dialogue between these different practices, in an environment where experience and feedback go hand in hand.
