In this integrative and interdisciplinary workshop, science and politics, theory and practice, tradition and progress dissolve into each other in the eternal topos of the burgeoning but threatened Mediterranean garden-landscape. Stemming from the aporia of modern agronomic discourse, the concept of IHA will be presented as an enthusiastic attempt to finally reconcile the fragmentary and d[i/e]sparate efforts, both institutional and grassroots, aiming to protect and revitalize the failing greek agriculture and its marginalized communities. During the masterclass, participants will partake in a multitude of open-ended educational activities, which will be able to co-shape and co-direct to their needs and interests in a reimagining of the indigenous agricommons.
