About

Initiated by our UK associate artist Agnes Cameron and international artist-in-residence Åsa Sonjasdotter, The Agrarianism and Revolution Reading Group has been meeting weekly in the Delfina library since the start of our autumn Politics of Food season.

Bringing together season’s residents, the group has been reading a discussing an evolving constellation of texts – spanning wide histories, geographies and ideologies – about and produced by movements that have sought to challenge extractive relationships to the land.

In this first public meeting of the group, those who have been involved in the group to date will read selected extracts from the texts studied so far and engage in an open discussion on the texts, the learnings of the group, its future trajectory.
