In their talk The Gardening Bricoleur, the Finnish artist duo nabbteeri explores questions concerning the contradictions of artistic practice, thinking with the hands, grieving, and learning to be affected, embracing the unknowability of others – much like gardening itself.
After the talk, we invite you to our seed workshop – here, participants can write and fold small seed packets, make simple pots from recycled paper, exchange and sow seeds, share experiences about varieties and cultivation, or simply pause and observe what happens when hands meet soil.
Welcome!
nabbteeri’s residency at Konstföreningen Åkern is conducted in collaboration with IASPIS – the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s international programme for visual and applied arts and with support from Region Gävleborg.
