Welcome to I Am Soil
I am Soil is part of Cultivating Connections, a creative, community-driven project bringing together farming, art, and young people to reconnect us with the living soil beneath our feet.
The project is supported by the SoilTribes initiative and funded by the European Union.

Hold the earth. Share the moment
Become part of a global living artwork in just a few seconds.
It’s completely free, and you will help to raise awareness across the world about the importance of soil to humanity.
Please do this right now:
Go outside
Step into your garden, a park, a pavement crack, or any patch of earth near you.
Step 01
Find some soil
Any soil counts: rich and thriving, or cracked and dry. Every bit has a story to tell.
Step 02
Hold it in your hand
Feel the connection - express it however feels right to you. Hold it, kneel by it, plant something in it... You are part of this soil, and it is part of you.
Step 03
Take a Photo
Show the place around you, or just your hands - be creative! However you captured it, your photo joins a living artwork shared across the world.
Step 04
Your photo will become part of a living artwork that will be shared across the world
(you will not be identified, but you can share your location which will be added to the globe above)
