Landing Sites | Agat Sharma
Landing Sites is a three part reading group aimed at exploring the role performance and theatre plays in expanding our understanding of our relationship with land and collectively imagining post-extractive ways of relating to land.
During the sessions participants will be working together with artist, educator and theatremaker, Agat Sharma, on exploring a diverse set of materials. Through stories, archival documents and theoretical texts the Land Sites sessions delve into various strategies that could be employed in order to understand and shift our relationship with the land we inhabit and perhaps even collectively imagine new ways of relating to land.
The readings will be in English and are free to attend for all by purchasing a free ticket. You don’t have to prepare anything before the sessions. There will be tea, coffee and cookies.
Landing Sites was conceptualised at a residency supported by the Over Het Ij festival.

“As a part of Landing Sites, my new project in collaboration with Agat Sharma, we are examining ways to return back to Earth. It is not clear why we are undertaking this project or why would we like to return to Earth? We are not sure how far we have drifted away from her and we do not know what to expect in case we are able to make a successful return. We are developing new thinking tools to mentally prepare ourselves for this imminent landing. We are reading books, eating healthy and exercising everyday. We are also singing in small and large groups. We have made drawings and written poems of what we think might happen upon encountering Earth again.”
