Planetarische Bauern

INLAND is a Spain-based collaborative agency for agricultural, social and cultural production, founded in 2009 by artist Fernando García-Dory (born 1978 in Madrid, Spain). It develops critical tools and applies them through experimental approaches to address environmental, cultural and economic challenges. As part of Planetary Peasants, INLAND revisits the contemporary significance of the Twelve Articles – the manifesto that fuelled the Peasants’ War – from the perspective of the commons and the ongoing struggles of the pastoralist movement, particularly in relation to the development of the European Shepherds Network. In conjunction with the exhibition, a collaboration with the BVBS German Professional Shepherds’ Association will explore current political challenges and envision future possibilities. It will include a transnational shepherds’ gathering and a shared reflection on the months-long action Hirtenzug (‘European Shepherds March’, a project García-Dory first began developing for documenta 13, 2012).
