This workshop is facilitated by artist and community organizer Dharmendra Prasad, who will be setting up a one day Harvest School at PASS as an open invitation to collectively practice
Harvest philosophy. Harvest philosophy is part of the pedagogical programme of Harvest School. It is realized from damaged agrarian processes, rural visions and cultural time practices in reaction to capitalist expansion and extractive infrastructures implemented in the rural, and running from the Global South to the Global North.
As part of this one-day Harvest School, we will be engaging with observational exercises, presentations, discussions and short video screenings.
A sandwich will be served for lunch.

ARTIST BIO
Harvest School is a self-organized art-pedagogical infrastructure in Buxar, India run by Dharmendra Prasad. The initiative centers epistemic justice by implementing slowness and agrarian imaginaries as tools to counter violent pedagogies, and the erasure of landscapes, collectivity and ancestral memory.
Dharmendra Prasad gets stuck between ecological and industrial time practices. He navigates through oral traditions, toil, caste/ hierarchies, agrarian urgencies, extraction, winds, horizon,
deteriorating seasons, agricultural fields and threshing floors. He is a follower of rural philosophies, imprints of slow agricultural practices, and more-than-human happenings in villages of Bihar and Assam. Through the medium of need, urgencies, time, toil and soil his practice is cultivated and tilled-up in the form of installations, videos, paintings, photography, texts, events, travelogue’s and beyond. Born in-between stories, discrimination, hierarchies, chaos and silence, full of winds and dusts, without any address, Dharmendra practices between the fields of Gangatic plains to the villages, water bodies and rainforests of northeast India, and in extension he has co-founded the Guwahati based Anga Art Collective, Library of illiterates and Harvest School.
