A workshop on anti-racism, arts and ecology
with Mojisola Adebayo and Nicole Wolf
Agri/cultural practices for climate justice is an experimental workshop that provides an embodied introduction
to agroecology principles and sustainable landscape design through games and
exercises from Theatre of the Oppressed. Aimed at rehearsing solutions for change, the
workshop playfully and accessibly explores diverse artistic practices including
creative writing. Both Agroecology (also referred to as permaculture) and Theatre of the Oppressed are informed
by Indigenous and Black knowledge
and experiences. This workshop is
based on this acknowledgement and focuses on anti-racism, climate justice, decolonizing practices, addressing power structures, understanding the link between
colonialism, plantation agriculture and environmental chaos. We will explore the
potential of theatre and artistic practices to challenge environmental racism. The main
sites of the workshop are the garden of
Oyoun and of Spore Initiative, with the possibility of reflecting on sites and
spaces that are important to you.
