Free Soil: international hybrid collaboration of artists, activists, researchers and gardeners
Check out our new favorite website: Free Soil
from their "About" page:
Free Soil is an international hybrid collaboration of artists, activists, researchers and gardeners who take a participatory role in the transformation of our environment. Free Soil fosters discourse, develops projects and gives support for critical art practices that reflect and change the urban and natural environment. We believe art can be a catalyst for social awareness and positive change.
