This edition maps and forms part of the experimental knowledge commons created by participating artists in Rural Facets - a trio of gatherings for critically engaged artists who identify with the / as rural or any of it’s many facets. Intended for artists to network, share practice and amplify our own narratives of the rural.

Words were harvested from conversations, shared artworks and activities from/between participating artists. These are presented as a weaving of descriptors, solids, fragilities and possibilities of our rural facets. The edition is freely available to all under a creative commons license,  and as a limited number of print versions via MTP (for the cost of P+P).  

Rural Facets was supported by VASW as part of their programme How can I stay?
