Slow TV, Linen Harvest, Summer Date TBC, FREE EVENT

The Slow TV experience will be from dawn to dusk. Expect a slower pace of documenting that transports you to the flax fields as you watch the linen harvest as it is happening. There is no editing, commentary or staged filming but the natural happenings of the harvest.

The date of the Slow TV event can only be predicted a few days ahead of the harvest of the flax crop at The Linen Project. Nature defines the harvest and cannot be hurried. We will follow the flax crop during the month of July 2022 to monitor when it is ready to harvest and for the Slow TV event to document the process. Filming is dependent on the flax crop and the weather.

This is a free event that will live streamed on our website on the SLOW TV PAGE.

About The Linen Project
The Linen Project is a hands-on practice-based research environment initiated by the ArtEZ MFA Practice Held in Common and the Crafts Council Nederland.

The Linen Project investigates and works towards reactivating the economic viability of small-scale local flax cultivation and linen production in the Netherlands. The Linen Project’s learning by doing approach to all stages of flax and linen production allows for meaningful and embodied ways of being and learning for all partners involved. The Linen Project is committed to identifying, evolving and strengthening socio-economic patterns and behaviours that are rooted in a commoning approach. The project's activities facilitate interactions based on participation, reciprocity and mutuality.
