The day will be centred around the following sessions:
1) Tending to the Earth’s cycles – an exploration into Gaia Theory, eco-burials and regenerative farming and how they work with natural cycles.
2) Nurturing Urban Soils – focussing on London’s soil and its caretakers ranging from community gardening, urban green policy and guerilla activism.
3) Extending our thinking on food systems – looking at microbes, regenerative farming, artistic interventions and zero-waste initiatives.
4) Building blocks – looking at the material potential of soil across the fashion, architecture and construction industries.
Designer and artist, Ling Tan, will present a performative lecture on her work Low Carbon Chinatown (2021 – present) and Taking Root (2022).
