About
Artist residency.
ReSoil: Residency on Soil is a six-month artist residency led by Postane at Postane Ova in Tarsus/Çukurova, Türkiye. Hosted on a citrus farm transitioning from industrial monoculture to regenerative polyculture, the residency brings artists, designers, scientists, and farmers together to explore soil regeneration through creative practice. Activities include site immersion, co-creation with local farmers, open studio days, a ReSoil Festival, and an Istanbul meet-up. The project makes regeneration visible and helps communities imagine soil recovery as possible and practical.
