Kerminy is an new place working about aesthetics transitions. Kerminy invents its autonomy, self-reliance, thanks to the residents creative practices in relation to the kerminian environment as plants, agriculture as social. Agri, perma, poly-cultural gestures shape the place in an artistic way where actions are Art according to the renewal of artistic forms between creations and thoughts.

Our postures as artists, researchers are transgressive about interpersonal skills and knowledge. Kerminy experiences regenerate our practices that work along with theoretical, activist and committed exchanges.

The orientation of Kerminy area (12,5 hectares) is largely determined by the community of the artist residency and agricultural activities. Uses are linked with every day life, working places, and non human beings living in the fields and the forest in a continuous way.

HUGE THANKS to the 200 contributors and more who came to Kerminy since last June!

The experiments shape this plural place:

Kerminy is made up of these 4 associations: the castle-residence for OPEN, (n) artistic studios, dancing rooms for ECOSOMA, and the artistic garden for CYCLO-FARM. They are self-organisations with no subside, so their self-management only works with your contributions, memberships, donations and the cost participation during your stays in residence, which are the unique resources.
So, please, let circulate this newsletter, join the associations and invite people around you to support Kerminy!
