An Aesthetic of Regeneration
“Let me come to your wounds, Heal Myself”
The five day Art event “Let me come to your wounds, heal myself”, was an invitation to come home, to our own senses and to claim ourselves: our body, our land, and our bodily connections that preserve and nurture Earth and Life. This cross-disciplinary art project was done in the context of climate change and the alienation we experience today from the interconnectedness of life.

Established in 1999, Elements is a Kerala based pioneer in mainstreaming the production and marketing of organic produce in India. Elements is the founder promoter and trading partner of Fair Trade Alliance Kerala, a small farmer collective of 5000 organic farmers engaged in responsible soil stewardship in the Western Ghats region of India.

Established in the year 2005 Fair Trade Alliance Kerala (FTAK) is an organization of small holder farmers drawn from the hilly regions of the western Ghats of Kerala. The organization evolved as a response to the agrarian crisis of poverty and indebtedness that gripped Kerala during the beginning of the 21st century, when producers were not even getting the cost of production for much of their produce. FTAK aimed to address the crisis and to try and find solutions. This led to collaborative action with producers, distributors and consumers to try and create a more just system, where trade is not just to make profit but is an exchange with a human face. FTAK aims to ensure that small scale farming is a sustainable occupation. Through working under Fair Trade principles farmers are given a fair price for their products and sustainable farming means that farming protects and nurtures the land as well as the workers.
