Classes have begun at Inland Academy. As part of the Inland Campo Adentros’ Transformative Territories project, Inland Academy is a project that aspires to build a creative critical mass willing to question existing power dynamics around the rural and the contemporary art; to bring closer the academy and the rural, through creative operations and to create a propitious space for social action and innovation linked with the environmental and social challenges of our society.

Inland Academy is an independent postgraduate program offering tools and expertise to develop projects that explore and redefine power dynamics between rural life and contemporary art. Running from September 2024 to June 2025, the program combines theory and practice, using Inland’s ongoing agroecological and cultural initiatives as its learning spaces. 

The program promotes multidisciplinary approaches to land-based art and research, building on 15 years of Inland-Campo Adentro’s experience. It aiming at a learning, reflection, and social transformation space located at the intersection of rural culture and art and agro-ecology. It is specially oriented to those who look at the land as space for situating their practice, with primacy of the rural and the primary sector. 

With bases in Madrid, Mallorca, and Northern Spain, and connections to networks like Lumbung and the World Alliance of Nomadic Peoples, Inland Academy fosters critical learning and collaboration in response to eco-social crises.
