About

Living pedagogies and regenerative cultural practice.

Soil Assembly is a one-year trans-local network led by ART2M across Switzerland, Ukraine, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. It brings artists, farmers, researchers, educators, designers, activists, hackers, and communities together through regional assemblies, field visits, workshops, citizen science, composting, storytelling, low-tech experimentation, fanzines, toolkits, and an online repository. The process culminates in the fourth International Soil Assembly in Berlin in January 2027, strengthening living pedagogies and regenerative cultural practice around soil.
