Urban Soil as a Living Canvas, Soil & Art Workshop
Gerd Wessolek, TU-Berlin, Germany
Abstract
These reflections and memories present insights from the Soil & Art workshop held as part of the Urban Soil Conference “SUITMA 13” in Pisa, Italy, 2025. It was the third Soil & Art workshop I gave after Berlin in 2006 and NYC in 2017. It brings together soil scientists, artists, and environmental thinkers to explore the intersections between urban soil science and artistic expression. Through hands-on artistic practice and reflective discussion, participants engage with urban soils as both ecological entities and cultural material. These reflections discuss the pedological and artistical outcomes of the SUITMA-seminar, offering perspectives on how artistic approaches can deepen public and scientific appreciation of urban soils.
