Myvillages

Myvillages has been connecting communities, spaces and landscapes since 2003, using “the rural” as an a-national and trans-local identifier, without wanting to define it. The rural can be a mindset, a certain practice or a shared identity. Myvillages see their work in line with anti-oppression feminist practices, disrupting European traditions of urban cultural hegemony and the dominance of patriarchal landownership, exploring rural realities in different constellations and at different intersections, creating common space for localized and land-based knowledges, and (re)connecting skills along the way. Myvillages has exhibited internationally at Documenta fifteen, Kunsthalle Bratislava, Guangdong Times Museum, Galerie für Zeitgenossische Kunst Leipzig and Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, to name a few venues. Myvillages will work in Kiruna with the artists Wapke Feenstra and Kathrin Böhm.
