SVA is working with Zerodig Farm and Curriculum For Life to lead a creative engagement programme that brings together young creatives, families, and artists to explore the intersection of science, farming, and global stories through participatory art.

The aim is to learn about soil culture through creative practice and inspire a more imaginative connection to our local landscape. The project is funded by the European Union through the Soil Tribes programme.

Sophie Ferrier is a multi-media, interdisciplinary ecological artist/ craftsperson near Hay on Wye and is our resident artist at Zerodig for Open Studios. Sophie refers to her practice as being land-based, ecologically restorative & storytelling, that is rooted in artistic research, materiality and our local environments. Sophie is engaging with young creatives to inspire them to lead on their own soil explorations.

Zerodig is a not-for-profit social enterprise focusing on soil restoration to increase the quality and volume of nutrient rich food production.
