Alongside this, a quote from postcolonial theorist and poet Édouard Glissant similarly rejects the countryside as solely a place of conservatism, alternate histories suggest that ‘the countryside is also the place where there are revolutions’.
'carve, hew, adze…' is a work of speculative fiction about an autonomous community in a countryside of the future. It considers the tools, objects and methods of a woodworkers' coop after the decline of the metropolis.
Our posters ‘carve, hew, adze, bend, weave, grow, split, join’ are up until 8th August at Abergavenny train station! 🚆
