All kids, parents, grandparents and friends are invited to join Dharmendra Prasad, co-founder of Anga Art Collective, for an exercise around slowness of the Harvest School curriculum.
There will be different activities. You can join us on Saturday at the Spore Learning Garden or on Sunday at Tempelhofer Feld.
We will be there during the respective times and you can just join in whenever it suits you.
Saturday at Spore Garden: Moisture between fingers - making and performing with clay objects
Saturday at Spore Garden: Following the imagination of insectsThe Harvest School functions through an ecological notion of time. The concept of the school is inspired by the non-extractive/slow agriculture in Bhojpur region of Bihar, India. The pedagogy of the Harvest School revolves around workshops, deep observations, actions and soil of eco-rural contexts like wetlands, forests, agricultural fields, threshing floors and other harvest sites.
Sunday at Tempelhofer Feld: Harvesting color, smells and lines from a season
Sunday at Tempelhofer Feld: Harvest game
Sunday at Tempelhofer Feld: Winds rolling on the thread - sending letters to a kiteThe exercises here in the urban setting of the Spore House will confront participants with rural philosophies, materials and agricultural practices. Dharmendra Prasad invites you to rethink and refeel the notion of time from an ecological non-industrial perspective. Kids and adults can share experiences of slowness, of reading time or experimenting with locally available materials such as grass, clay, and others.
