Over the Levee, Under the Plow: An Experiential Curriculum is a suite of cards containing prompts, exercises, and questions. As an experiential curriculum, the cards are informed by practices of generative somatics and contain both unconscious omissions and specific details that reflect the subject position and geo-historical moment from which the artist-authors conceived them. We intend them to be a tool, rather than a prescription or solution, and invite you to interpret, adapt, and reconfigure any and all of them to fit your own circumstances. While they are inspired by our engagement with the Lands and Lifeways where we find ourselves, we hope that they can be useful in a variety of social and ecological contexts.
OLUP cards are available in paper form as a stand-alone package, as well as in a package that includes the complete set of Field Guides to the Anthropocene Drift.
All proceeds (minus shipping and packaging) will be donated to the Meskwaki Food Sovereignty program of the Sak and Fox of the Mississippi in Iowa.
Orders will process via Square and will ship from Ryan Griffis.
