What can we learn from compost?
Come down into the Kompost Zone an underworld teeming with hope, life and pressing questions for the future of our Earth. We dig for hope in the darkness beneath our feet to transcend the dystopia of the Anthropocene.
In the Kompost Zone, we explore human–environment relationships by combining science, art, and practice.
We aim to create spaces for experimental formats and collaborative ways of caring for life—both beneath and beyond ourselves. Within the Kompost Zone, we relate to the Earth as our common ground. We share a vision of compost as a planetary response from below—a reaction to the soil crisis in these times of Anthropocenic dusk.
The Kompost Zone is also an invitation to “contaminate/collaborate” (A. Tsing): an experimental project for diverse composting practices that evolve through dialogue with various actors, including grassroots organizations, art collectives, peasant movements, and academics.
At the moment, we are working on a book project.
More information will be available here in the future.
