Kassels' Rural Undercurrents was an exhibition and project at Documenta 15 in Kassel, Germany, running through the summer of 2022. It explored the connections between urban food initiatives, local agriculture, and the rural backgrounds of residents, with a focus on women-led economies and local knowledge.
During the summer of 2022, as part of Documenta 15, the project "Kassels' Rural Undercurrents" delved into the often-unseen rural influences within the urban landscape of Kassel, Germany. The initiative focused on urban growing and local food movements, drawing connections to the agricultural heritage of the region and the mindset of its residents, including those with migration backgrounds. With a strong emphasis on women-led collectives and economies, the project partnered with various local knowledge keepers and organizations. Key collaborators included the Schlachthof Kultur Zentrum, the autonomous commune Kommune Nieder-Kaufungen (known for its agroforestry practices), Frauentreff Brückenhof (working with women with migration backgrounds), Upland Molkerei (a women-run dairy cooperative), and the Ottoneum Natural History Museum for geological insights. The project aimed to activate overlaps, share perspectives, and foster an infrastructure for commoning and long-term alliances, highlighting rural knowledge and experience as integral to the urban context and artistic discourse.
