CATTLELAND: a festival for culture and agri-culture concludes a series of residencies by guest artist Chris Kallmyer at Texas A&M that have integrated the agricultural sciences, environmental studies. Since September, CATTLELAND has fostered a conversation about the significance of grazing lands through forums, discussions, rigorous inquiry, speculative proposals, and the construction of cow bells. Join us for the culmination of CATTLELAND in workshops, demonstrations, performances, exhibitions, and more conversations about the future of our relationship to cattle and the lands they occupy. A screening and conversation. RUNNING FENCE (dir. Albert Maysles, David Maysles, Charlotte Zwerin) depicts the long struggle by the artists, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, to build a 24 mile fence of white fabric over the hills of California, through ranches and grazing lands, disappearing into the Pacific. The event is free.
