The ‘rural’ is a doing word. This is a key take-home message from this interview with Fernando Garcia Dory, set deep in the mountains of northern Spain.
This episode explores how livestock shepherding relates to commoning and enclosures in an ongoing project, Inland: Campo Adentro. Inland is a shepherd school, or ‘agroecological lighthouse’, with a three-word manifesto: art, agriculture and territory.
We talk to Fernando about how he has created a space to reclaim ecological relationships, whilst also challenging regressive concepts around territory, identity and emotions often associated with the countryside.
