15–16 November 2025, 12:00–18:00 / Casco HQ
The Farmers’ Market is a two-day celebration held as the finissage of Rerooting in the Polder (Aarden in de Polder) with Wapke Feenstra and her extended ecosystem. The autumn exhibition reflects on the Dutch polder landscape—once an emblematic symbol of progress and water management, yet today confronting pressing social and ecological challenges.
Over the weekend, the lively market brings together partners from the Rerooting in the Polder project. Conceived as a space where “art and culture” and “agriculture” meet, the Farmers’ Market invites reflection on what this convergence can offer toward cultivating alternative economies of collectivity and renewed practices of land sustenance.
At the center of the program is Polder Trade, a table hosted by Rural School of Economics, where peer-to-peer learning and exchange take shape. Visitors are also invited to meet artists, farmers, craftspeople—listening to their stories and engaging in conversations and reflections on collaborative ways of working, caring for shared resources, and rerooting.
Contributors across the weekend include Meta Knol, Asia Komarova from The Outsiders, Sophia and Julia from Zeelanding, Inez Dekker, Gele Hailu, Hans Engberts, Zburazh Art Coop, and more names to be announced.
Expanding our market, the Rural School of Economics’ International Village Shop is set up, along with our Casco Kiosk, featuring merchandise and publications from our translocal lumbung and Arts Collaboratory networks and beyond.
You are also welcome to join Drawing the Land, an en plein air session sketching the centuries-old plane tree in the courtyard, inspired by the “dig where you stand” approach. And, of course, this is the final opportunity to visit the exhibition upstairs.
Join us as we celebrate this special closing together—we look forward to sharing it with you!.
