Narratives of Soil _ Project Review

Narratives of Soil Short Video

Narratives of Soil Research Publication

The process of working with soil is a humbling one. The material narrates a lesson for all involved about their landscape. Building and objects that use soil take on its meaning. But often, the hegemony dictates that this meaning is humble and undignified. In this project, we are interested in exploring the vocabulary of soil through the eyes of ancient and emerging practitioners. Through comparative study we will get to see what soil can reveal to us, contextualising our landscape in relation to what it has been through. In this time when climate change is affecting the entire planet, global connections using familiar materials are important when exploring solutions. 'Narratives of Soil' research project by Wendy Teo Atelier and Eliza Collin, is made possible with the support from British Council 'Connections through Culture' research programme. We are thankful for all the supports we have received from and beyond our network towards the research project.
