About Soil & Workshops, Entertainment, Performances, Exhibits

The air we breath, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the waste we produce or reuse, the water we use to survive: As we explore the living fabric of health; soils as the supporters and connectors of our fundamental living needs, we can make some deeper connections to some of the facets of our lifestyles that are impacted by the choices we make with our soils resources, and the impacts we have on our environment, both good and bad. 

To make up for not being able to host our outdoor art and soils festival, tour, and expo, we are incorporating interactive workshops, entertainment, performances, and exhibits that will be intertwined into the format of symposium. Artists, scientists, urban farmers, educators, landscape architects, architects, and practitioners from diverse sectors will share their explorations, engage the public with demonstrations or interactive activities, and provoke and probe new ideas.
