Groundwork – A Workshop on Reimagining Soil and Collective Life ❘
Workshop with
Sophia Doyle | Åsa Sonjasdotter
As part of the series Damaged Deliberations, this workshop brings together artist Åsa Sonjasdotter and researcher Sophia Doyle for a collective inquiry into land, agriculture, and their entanglement with political and economic power.
Taking place at studio nagelneu at prinzessinnengarten kollektiv in Berlin Neukölln, the workshop explores soil as both material and metaphor: as a site of extraction and regeneration, of ownership and resistance, and of contested meanings – from industrial agribusiness and colonial food systems to nationalist appropriations of “land and soil.” Together, we will consider how questions of soil open up broader debates about democracy, access, and collective responsibility in times of ecological crisis.
