“Art and Nature in the Bavarian Countryside” Seminar
Visiting the Foundation for Art and Nature in Nantesbuch
22.09.2021
For this seminar, fellows, staff, PhD candidates, and MA students visited the Foundation for Art and Nature in Nantesbuch which is a non-profit foundation that operates several farm buildings 50 km south of Munich. Seminar leader and curator Sinan von Stietencron introduced us to the foundation's ecological initiatives, including landscape conservation and permaculture. During a guided tour of the 320 ha large plot, he highlighted some of the projects that are happening there, like the rewilding of streams, improving moorland, reforestation and mapping of nesting birds. These are just some of the examples of the interdisciplinary exchange at Nantesbuch, always asking for a more meaningful and sensual understanding of what the Environment can mean.We had a great time among permaculture and Heck cattle!
