Agatha's Almanac

Description

Fiercely independent 90-year-old Agatha Bock lives alone on her ancestral farm. Despite health challenges, she defiantly tends to her land, cultivating heirloom seeds passed down through generations. Agatha’s meditative processes and daily rituals form a vivid counterpoint to the rapid pace of contemporary life. Shot by an all-female crew over six years on 16mm film, the project captures the handmade materiality inherent in both the medium of film and Agatha’s tactile world.

This screening will be followed by a talkback featuring:

- Martin K Ventura Urban Agriculture and Community Gardens Specialist · University of Wisconsin-Madison

- Meggan Thompson Program Coordinator, UWM Office of Applied Gerontology

Community Partner Alice's Garden Urban Farm
