Under the title “How to Speak of the Land?” The BLACKMARKET FOR USEFUL KNOWLEDGE AND NON-KNOWLEDGE is dedicated to future projects, past times, and current narratives of the countryside. 60 experts share their knowledge about potentials, prejudices, utopias, projects, unknown places, and remote landscapes in 168 conversations. They contrast any one idea of a rural area with a multitude of facts and fictions.
