Kassel’s Rural Undercurrents

Who holds land-based knowledge in a city and where does it become visible? Who are the women who run lasting economies? How can we share without talking? The Rural School of Economics addressed, dug up, and visualised the collective findings to those questions over a period of eighteen months in and around Kassel in the lead-up to and during lumbung documenta fifteen in Kassel, which took place in summer 2022. The film Kassel’s Rural Undercurrents is a summary and documentation of Myvillages’ project, linking to the lumbung approach applied by documenta curators ruangrupa, offering a glimpse into activities at the ruruhaus, the Hübner Areal, and the Hafenstrasse sites, as well as the many collaborations embedded.
