Soil is not just the ground we walk on – it is a living and dynamic ecosystem where processes essential for life on Earth take place. While its formation takes thousands of years, changes and degradation can occur surprisingly quickly. The exhibition emphasizes the importance of understanding and protecting soil, highlighting its role in providing food, water, and environmental stability.

During the exhibition, an accompanying program will include educational workshops, lectures, and film screenings. School workshops offer an interactive journey through the layers of soil – from tiny organisms and the processes that take place within it to contemporary challenges related to preserving soil health. The workshops will also explore how we can ensure that our soil remains healthy, fertile, and resilient.

What does the smell of soil remind you of and can we hear the underground?
