Who decides what’s in the soil under our neighborhood? Who has to live with the toxicity? And how do we take care of it?
In summer and fall of 2024, the Bodenlabor Kalk invited Cologne residents of all ages–especially residents of Kalk–to learn about the soil under our feet in Kalk from the perspectives of gardeners, scientists, and artists. We got our hands dirty and engaged closely with the soil using all our senses. All workshops were free and open to the public.
