Soil Ecologies and Life-Sustaining Goods
This strand of the project develops artistic and arts-based approaches to foster regenerative practices. The theme encompasses two sub-projects. The first, ‘From the Ground Up’ cultivates artistic research approaches which engage with soil as primary material, such as acting against soil harm, taking it as a prime site of multispecies conviviality, and engaging with it as a highly sophisticated regenerative system. The second, ‘Regenerative Practices for Life-Sustaining Goods’, collaborates with entrepreneurs to foster the implementation of regenerative practices. Both sub-projects use creative methods to understand how the arts, in collaboration with, and through more-than-human agents can nurture ecological and social regeneration.
