Seasonal Matters Rural Relation (Field)notes on rhythms, rituals and cohabitation


June ‘24
What if we reconsider contemporary rural challenges through relationships rather than oppositions? Based on seasonal work experiences, Seasonal Matters Rural Relations delves into the realm of contemporary agriculture and European labour migration.

Through a variety of discursive formats, ranging from essays and interviews to drawings and recipes, this book explores the socio-political implications on rhythms, rituals, and cohabitation in Europe's countryside. Seasonal Matters Rural Relations encourages a layered conversation between agricultural workers, engaged citizens, artists, and designers.
