The Scope of Stories, Tracing Vernacular Landscapes


Contributor: Jonathan De Maeyer


‘The Scope of Stories, Tracing Vernacular Landscapes' is an exhibition that assesses the state of artistic movements in rural areas. Jonathan De Maeyer invited artists who work in both rural and urban settings, always focusing on human connections, ecology, food, and agriculture. Through fiction and documentary that questions the human perspective, the complexity and reality of the countryside are woven into the stories it houses.
