Join us to learn from, and about, the soil that sustains our ecosystems through art, poetry, chromatography and microscopy!

Ever wondered about the social life of soil? Soil supports ecosystems of all kinds, hosts dazzling microbial diversity and can even give us new ways to think about research.

In this practical workshop participants will be invited to engage creatively and anthropologically with soil as a more-than-human substance through making 'found poems', creating soil chromotographs and inviting new perspectives through microscopy. In doing so, the workshop aims to provide opportunities for thinking together about soil as an overlooked but vital substance: not only for nourishing our ecosystems, but also for provoking new ways of imagining research and collaboration.

Priority for the workshop will be given to recent anthropology students but is open to all who are interested in attending. Places are limited.
