What happens if an artwork, a museum, a region, or a group of people are all considered homes, as opposed to places for transaction or extraction? Where do the differences between nation, neighborhood, and homeland really reside? How do we remain hopeful in the pursuit of the answers to these questions?
Hosted by Sky High Farm and Judd Foundation, this daylong symposium will consist of three distinct but interrelated moderated conversations that center themes relevant to the work of both Sky High Farm and the speakers invited to participate, all of whom are part of a diverse and extended network of collaborators. The panels will focus individually on art, land, and community—intentionally broad but potent topics that are referenced often in today’s cultural and industrial discourses.
