SOIL: Common Ground


Listen Later

Soil is unsung, and largely hidden from view. What if we were to put it in the foreground? To think of it as a collaborator?  

Across three episodes, presenter and Somerset House Studios artist Shenece Oretha traces the life cycle of soil, from it’s foundational role at the beginning of life with artist Asad Raza, through to its manifestation as one of the earliest creative materials, with ceramist and writer Jennifer Lucy Allan. We hear from artists Annalee Davis and Lauren Gault on the ways soil bears witness our difficult histories, before exploring decay and the regenerative powers of soil in our final episode, with the work of artist Mohamed Salah and radical undertaker Rupert Callender. 

The series launches off from the Somerset House exhibition SOIL: The World at Our Feet.
Presented by Shenece Oretha
Produced by Jo Barratt and Alannah Chance 
Exec produced by Alannah Chance and Eleanor Ritter-Scott. 
The series is mixed by Mike Woolley
Original music by Andrew Pekler.
