Soil of Cultures
Promoting People's Rights to Food, Livelihood, and Self-Determination through Art and Action
Our Vision and Mission
We envision a world where individuals and communities have the right to shape their food and agriculture systems, with access to land, water, seeds, and sustainable production. Everyone has the right to safe, healthy, and culturally appropriate food while resisting corporate forces and neoliberal frameworks that threaten food sovereignty.
Our mission is to empower communities by reclaiming control over food systems through participatory workshops, community exhibitions, and educational programmes. We promote food sovereignty, ecological sustainability, and justice through education, community initiatives, and collective action.
Our Values
-
We challenge the idea of art for art’s sake. We believe in using art to challenge injustice, raise awareness, and inspire collective action for social change.
-
We value preserving and celebrating Indigenous and cultural heritage, fostering solidarity among communities. Our work serves as a medium that connects and strengthens the collective struggle for justice and dignity.
-
We prioritise collaboration in our creative process, strengthening collective work and shared experiences. By working alongside communities, we strive to reveal the experiences of marginalised communities, exposing injustices and mobilising communities for justice.
