BioPalette
Portugal
About
Bio-based art, participatory print labs, and community engagement.
BioPalette is a six-month art-science initiative led by PAAT in Portugal. It makes soil health visible through bio-based art, plant-based and safe microbial pigments, living prints, story cards, QR micro-lessons, pop-up print labs, workshops, micro-exhibitions, and educator training. Participants connect soil indicators such as salinity, organic matter, compaction, and pollution with practical soil-friendly actions. The final open replication pack will help schools, libraries, NGOs, municipalities, and cultural venues reuse the method.
Project overview
Invisible soil degradation including pollution, salinity, compaction, erosion, declining organic matter, and low public awareness.
Inception; bio-ink testing; visual grammar and story cards; portable print-lab kits; micro-exhibitions; six pop-up activations; eight workshops/trainings; evaluation; open replication pack.
Uses bio-inks, prints, story cards, QR lessons, and print labs to explain soil indicators and soil-friendly practices while training educators and facilitators.
