Terra Alchimia: Permakultur & Begleitpflanzen – Landschafts-Impulse

This project page presents 'Terra Alchimia' as an interdisciplinary artistic and educational programme that interweaves permaculture concepts—such as companion planting, material cycles, and the productive use of agricultural by-products—into video works and public programming. The entry situates the work within a curatorial context (Project 35, Volume 2) and describes how the artists (notably Freia Achenbach & June Fàbregas under the label anima ona) investigate the relationships between cultivated systems, foraging practices, and local ecologies. The description explains that the video programme and associated texts function as both art and practical provocation: exhibiting site-specific permutations of companion planting strategies (pairings of plants that support pest control, nutrient sharing, or pollinator attraction), demonstrations of low-tech material-cycling interventions (composting, reuse of agricultural residues), and imaginative reworkings of agricultural landscapes into more diverse, productive, and aesthetically engaging mosaics. The page outlines the intended audiences: artists, landscape designers, educators, and practitioners interested in creative approaches to ecological agriculture and community outreach. It details supporting programming—such as artist talks, workshops, and printed materials—that translate artistic experiments into pragmatic takeaways for permaculture practice and communication. The project is framed as a bridge between cultural institutions and grassroots ecological practice: by using visual media and narrative devices, it seeks to make technical permaculture concepts accessible to wider publics while provoking reflection about values, species relations, and the aesthetics of regenerative land use. The write-up also notes collaborations with local growers or pilot plots in which companion planting experiments are run, and mentions a focus on pedagogy—how simple demonstrations can be scaled into community gardens, school projects, or demonstration sites. In tone the page is exploratory and evocative: treating permaculture both as a set of techniques and as a cultural-linguistic resource for imagining alternative agrarian futures.
