Soil and Friends is an interdisciplinary artistic and research project developed in collaboration between the Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art in Warsaw and the PLATO City Gallery of Art in Ostrava. It comprises two group exhibitions, a public programme, artist residencies, and site-specific activities. The surroundings of the Ujazdowski Castle – its parklands and Warsaw escarpment – have for many years served as a space for artistic and ecological research and activity, while PLATO maintains a permaculture garden on its grounds. Soil and Friends builds on the earlier initiatives of both institutions, continuing a reflection on art as a space for collective engagement with nature.
