| From Minho to Galicia, acorns were called landras, the fruits of various species of the genus Quercus, oaks. |
Landra is the name Sara Rodrigues and Rodrigo Camacho give to the land they live in, and how they are known as an artistic duo since 2020. Through landras, the duo pays homage to a culture of autonomy, sharing and abundance, which they seek to recover. Whilst developing as a resilient food-forest, Landra is also a place for experimentation with methods of local production and art-life forms. Sara and Rodrigo started collaborating in 2015. Their projects develop via audiovisual composition, performance, installation and public space interventions. Complementing their background in the arts, they studied permaculture and soil microbiology, whose concepts and techniques they employ in projects between art and science, including soil regeneration and ecosystem restoration practices. Today, modern ways of life prevail, and populations - even rural ones - are heavily dependent on objects and industrial processes that they do not control. This form of socioeconomic organization is a significant problem, as it produces disastrous imbalances in people's lives and, consequently, destabilizes all ecosystems on this planet. |
