The Experimental Station for Research on Art and Life
Int. Primaverii 10, Silistea Snagovului village
In 1962, environmentalist Rachel Carson was publishing her book, Silent Spring, which was thoroughly documenting and denouncing the devastating effects of DDT and other chemicals used intensively as pesticides after WWII. The book raised the awareness on how synthetic pesticides kill indiscriminately insects, birds, soil, and eventually people, while only making stronger the pests against which they are designed to work, and became fundamental for the environmental movement in the United States and worldwide.
Since then, some small victories were obtained, in phasing out chemicals such DDT, or in preventing big polluting projects from being implemented, and yet, the losses were much more substantial and we continue to count them, as toxic chemical agents return in force on the agricultural field and to the field of strategic weapons in current wars.
We can still hear the birds at the Station, and in the past five years, we brought back insects unseen anywhere on the nearby lands of monocultures. While they are still there, we invite you to listen to them and to each other, during a series of spring gatherings, with seasonal work, with collective cooking, and with discussions about whichever future we might have left.
