Interdisciplinary Strategies for Soil Recuperation
Streaming @.TWITCH – Piksel Festival Channel & FRIKANALEN
From agricultural runoff and algae blooms (Ewen Chardronnet) to migration and belonging in Punjab’s soils (Dr. Davina Kaur Patel); from fermentation as ecological healing (Maya Minder) to the architectures of data extraction and storage (Marina Otero Verzier), adding the Nordic perspective on how we engage with permafrost physically and emotionally (Taylor Alaina Liebenstein Smith), Perma/Soils maps the porous boundaries between soil and system, nature and network.
