Opening Monday, January 6th, from 7PM - 9PM
SOIL-LOOK, SOIL-LISTEN
Workshop with artist and ecologist Nance Klehm
What is your relationship with our shared commons, the soil?
Using our body tools of fingers, nose, and sight, we will access different soils’ capacity to filter our urban environment’s contaminated water and air and support our plants, animals and fungi. In this workshop, we will prepare slides with local soil samples and peer into a microscope to observe microorganisms and fungal threads.
The short film: ‘Soil Listen’ by Katarzna Guzowska (2011) will be screened.
Copies of Nance Klehm’s new book, The Soil Keepers: Interviews with Practitioners on the Ground Beneath Our Feet, along with other publications, tinctures, and items will be available for purchase.
