Abstract
The Yeomans Project is an interdisciplinary research-based series of activities centred around the work of the innovative Australian agriculturalist, PA Yeomans, whose development of the Keyline System of farming later led to the worldwide permaculture movement. While Yeomans’ work is of fundamental importance to Australian agriculture and farming, it is employed by the artists as a model for the radical reinterpretation of the role of the artist as cultural activist.
