Gardening is Activism I:

The first Gardening is Activism pilot project and a collaboration with the artistic platform Til Vægs and public housing association AKB Lundtoftegade with 2000 residents of 40 nationalities at the vibrant multi-ethnic area of Nørrebro in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Taking place over many years in a co-creative process as a learning community and a social, living sculpture (or common), we will re-design a cut grass area with existing mature trees into an anti-racist multicultural forest garden, decolonising not only permaculture and biology, but also culture by applying permaculture processes, holistic principles, radical time perspectives like thinking 7 generations ahead and core ethics of earth care, people care and fair share/future care.

I also work together with Eva Max Andersen from Immergrün, FRAK, Permaculture Denmark, Naturplanteskolen, Christian Lykou from Pædagogisk Praktisk Permakultur and many others for co-creative, community building practices within projects, stacking social bonds, function, diversity and ecosystems building with care and community.

Kindly supported by the Danish Arts Council, AKB Lundtoftegade, Copenhagen Municipality Biodiversity puljen, Nordea Fonden Her gror vi, Det Obelske Familiefond, Dreyer Fonden, Hosting Lands og Bikubenfonden and others.
