“Go and explore your own backyard or neighbourhoods; organize walks, workshops, picnics, projects, etc, on your own, with your friends, colleagues and wonderful strangers. Events are already planned in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Great-Britain, [Finland], the Netherlands and the United States. Go on and join the MK-Weeds Festival!”

Share your documentation via MK_Weeds blog, and it will be resyndicated also here. This initiative originates from the Netherlands. Click here for more information.

The presentation is titled ‘Human and Apian Foraging Network’, an exploration on behaviour and strategies of bees and men driven by the quest for urban edibles, and her workshop is called ‘Bee-o-Logical Housing’: a hands-on workshop for *out of the box* bee-hive-design.

Both events take place on the same day, the lecture as part of the morning programme (09.30-13.00), and the workshop in the afternoon (13.30-18.00).

Signe and Andrew will present the context, process and outcomes of organising last year’s midsummer ‘Herbologies’ expedition to rural towns of Aizpute and Alsunga in Western Latvia. The presentation shares an example of grassroots, artist-led ethno-botany and cultural heritage production.

During this Arkadia presentation event, they will present photo and video documentations from midsummer, and the resultant ‘Exercise Book of Traditions’ which was made following the expedition. Physical copies of the book will be available to take away and purchase at a modest price.

Entrance is free and green tea will be offered. A donation of €2 (or more) to Arkadia to fund the event is suggested and would be most welcome.
