This conversation will focus on both the care of the ground as embodied practice, and the conflicted and often violent relationship between labor and land. Ancestral and indigenous knowledge systems will be integral to the former, and practices of enslavement and unfree labor the latter, to generate a fuller understanding of the ground as a space of work and conflict – the work of care and the violence of work.
