COFFEE TALK with „Kulturland Ogrosen“ | April 10, 25
Collective »Kulturland Ogrosen« on combining art, movement, horticulture & education at a former farm in Brandenburg
Nadja Raszewski / choreographer and dance educator and Daniela Grosset / cultural manager and theater teacher have realized many artistic dance productions and socio-cultural projects in a variety of contexts in recent years, in Berlin, Germany and internationally. Their work involves a community art spirit and is always about participation and co-creation of the participants. Autobiographically motivated they have founded the »Kollektiv Kulturland Ogrosen« in 2019 as a response of their desire to expand their field of action into rural areas. Their local activities cover both cultural and educational aspects. They now live on the site of a former pig farm in Ogrosen / Niederlausitz organizing art events in the form of residencies, workshops and performances, and growing flowers as members of the slowflower movement (https://www.slowflower-movement.de/). Various dance productions have already been developed and shown in the expanded dance studios.
“Culture in rural areas should not remain unattainable as an elitist dimension, but rather it should be experienced by everyone.” By combining art, movement, horticulture and education Kulturland Ogrosen offers a wide range of cultural activities to the local community and warmly invites people to experience them. This is what we talk about in this conversation.
