Warmly welcome to the first The Posthumanities Hub (hybrid) webinar of 2025!
“Decolonize our minds. Becoming landscape. Through darkness & silence.
Gylleboverket Artist group explores the relational and how to move towards an extended ecological self through working with social sculpture, the performative and dark permaculture.
Since 14 years they also run the curatorial platform Gylleboverket– an artistic resilience center at a former scrap yard in rural South Sweden. Together with the platform, their permaculture farm – Boat in the forest, serves as exploratory sites focusing on questions of existential resilience, sustainable regenerative land use, cross-disciplinary collaborations, empowerment, embracing diversity and being a meeting point between the international and local community. At the farm they, among other things, planted a 4 hectare food forest with hundreds of various nut trees and fruit, berries and perennials, as well as been digging a large hole in silence for one year together with the local community, artist, researcher and people passing by.
The artist group’s artistic processes combine permaculture with artistic methods and the transformative potential of embodied experiences, materialization of thoughts, storytelling through film, installations, reconnection and the performative.
Using the connection to the landscape and the site-specific to create new ways of sharing and developing knowledge and relations to the living world. Both with site specific social sculptures and translated into large scale participatory installations, texts and films.
They will present their work and talk about the social sculpture that will be taking place at Linköping’s University in March and May 2025″.
