Amy Franceschini

www.futurefarmers.com

Amy Franceschini is an artist and educator who uses various media to encourage formats of exchange and production, many times in collaboration with other practitioners. An overarching theme in her work is a perceived conflict between humans and nature. Her projects reveal the history and currents of contradictions related to this divide by collectively challenging systems of exchange and the tools we use to “hunt” and “gather." Using this as a starting point, she often provides a playful entry point and tools for an audience to gain insight into deeper fields of inquiry—not only to imagine, but to participate in and initiate change in the places we live.


Amy founded the artists collective and design studio Futurefarmers in 1995, and co-founded Free Soil in 2004. Futurefarmers’ design studio serves as a platform to support art projects, an artist-in-residency program and research interests.
