Nurturing life with, through, and thanks to living organisms requires centering voices and practices that foster commoning. During the Days of Agroecology in October and beyond, we will create spaces to explore post-growth realities of food as a common good. With artists and scientists, through stories of land, seeds, water, and knowledge, we will host a series of events — readings — that offer a space for transdisciplinary exchanges on agroecological transitions.

Every Monday in October, we will hold reading sessions in the greenhouse, focusing on decolonial feminist perspectives in agroecology. Over the past year and a half, these weekly gatherings have provided an opportunity for students, artists, and researchers to read, listen, and engage in grounding practices that nurture slow and thoughtful reflections on existence and resistance.

In this reading session, we will explore both content and form, inviting readers to reflect on what the act of growing and independent publishing have in common. How can we record our plant knowledge together? Who has the freedom to grow? Who has the power to publish?

Heiba Lamara is an artist, publisher and gardener whose work explores independent print and archival practices. In particular she looks at zine-making as a methodological and material practice, to think across disciplines, ecologies and communities. She is Assistant Editor of OOMK Zine and co-founder of Rabbits Road Press. Through a series of iterative works under the title 'Sow Together' she is exploring the relationship between plants and publishing.

The small library, curated by arvae and the SAE Greenhouse, gathers texts and books collected and available for consultation upon request.

No registration is needed for this event.
