Compost as Superfood @ POST

Imagine soil as a tapestry of interconnected beings living in layers like clay, sand, peat, rocks and other earthly ingredients like water and air and mixed by mycelium (fungi), bacteria, small worm-like creatures and tiny soil organisms. This living soil is scarcely noticeable to us, we don’t know much about it and we may not have any emotions towards it. However, every living being on earth is (in)directly dependent on this tissue filled with tiny wonders.

Soil Life is a long-term artistic research program developed by Platform DIS, which connects farmers, artists, scientists and other living beings to this earthly tissue. This exhibition shares the title and showcases an open essay on soil. It opens up new ways of learning, feeling, doing, and regenerating when tuning in to soil (life). Here different voices and imaginations come together to investigate the crucial role that soil plays in our ecosystems.

EMAP project Compost as Superfood is part of this program at POST Nijmegen and on view until 15.12.24
