The Growing Sessions
The skin of the pumpkin, utopia as the founding axis of the American continent
© Edgard Berendsen
"The Vegetable Parliament" is a public art project in the garden of silent green that explores the milpa as a metaphor for an imaginary more-than-human societal model. At its core is a living inhabitable installation; a speculative parliament for utopian visions and possible futures of local socio-/ecosystems. As it evolves throughout the seasons, each visitor and each activation becomes an intricate part of the milpa.
As the opening of the Growing Sessions, Chilean writer Santiago Elordi revisits American utopias—from the search of the lost explorer Percy Fawcett to social and artistic revolutions—as the living pulse of the continent. He fuses storytelling and poetry with elements of folk magic. The performance culminates in a collective action where the audience imagines everyday miracles.
