This chapter builds on multiple interviews with long-time members of Mercato Brado (Feral Market), to consider re-ruralisation as a generative process that transforms the (material and immaterial) toxic inheritances of late industrialism into nourishment, value, selves, and socialities. In dialogue with Ana Cecilia Dinerstein’s and Kim Fortun’s work on the temporal demands implicit in prefigurative and reparative political projects, I argue that the practices of Mercato Brado follow a particular future-oriented yet recursive, non-discrete temporal logic according to which non-toxic social ecologies can only be nurtured through conscious and sustained acts of exposure, which simultaneously work to reckon with the past and its presence, and enable the latter to be transformed.
