DR ANNA COLIN
Anna is a curator whose interdisciplinary practice encompasses the pedagogical, the social, the ecological and the horticultural.
Alongside her collaborative curatorial projects, which increasingly engage placing art at the service of human and non-human ecosystems and the creation and care for biodiverse environments, Anna has been training in horticulture, permaculture design and arboriculture, and volunteering on small-scale agroecological farms.
In recent years, her writing has centred on social practice, critical pedagogy, differential organisational models, institutionalisation and institutional time.
She is currently engaged in research on the coalescence of art, gardening and farming, and the ways in which permaculture design can inform artistic, curatorial and institutional practices, beyond representation and appropriation, and towards environmental responsibility and accountability. And, vice-versa, how cultural practice can benefit natural ecosystems, and what approaches, methodologies, tools, durations, and interdisciplinary collaborations can be deployed to this end.
