He is one of the founders of the Parti Poétique “a group of artists, thinkers and makers united around questions and bees that they pose in public space.

Fernando Garcia-Dory
Fernando García-Dory is an artist and agroecologist, founder of INLAND -Campo Adentro, a para-institution platform of collaboration working on art, territories and social change in theory and practice.

His work also addresses connections and cooperation, from microorganisms to social systems, and from traditional art languages such as drawing to collaborative agroecological projects, actions, and cooperatives.
