Planetarische Bauern
In the organizer's words:
2025 marks the 500th anniversary of the end of the German Peasants' War. This provides the impetus for a contemporary artistic exploration. Based on the preconditions and unanswered questions of the events of that time, it deals with the state of globalized agriculture and the realities of farmers' lives today, as well as the topicality of the demands of 1525.
The exhibition Planetary Peasants, a cooperation between the Saxony-Anhalt Cultural Foundation and Werkleitz, presents 30 current artistic positions from May 23 to September 14, 2025 at the Moritzburg Art Museum in Halle (Saale). Internationally active artists and collectives are invited to develop new works or expand existing works in a site-specific way during a residency in Saxony-Anhalt. They will explore the production conditions and emancipatory potential of today's agricultural practices. At the same time, they will focus on social issues and problems that led to the Peasants' War 500 years ago and are still relevant today in various societies around the world in different forms.
