As part of a series of networking and thematic exchanges between science, art, and agronomy, we are unfolding together three chapters of the publication “Mobile Soils” by TETI Press: investigating the mineral and rooted discussions of the underground, looking at the layered and planted conversations on the ground, and finally exploring patterns of circulation across the overground.

For this final dinner of the series, Overground, foodculture days invites artist Grace Denis to examine the circulation of plants and nutrients at ground level, questioning the transit of plants and seeds through various terrains. Traversing beyond the subterranean into the plane in which we most frequently encounter plant matter, the dinner investigates the cycling of nutrients amongst plants, illustrating the circulatory forms inherent to cultivation.
