Collective Earth Stories

Collective Earth Stories gathers soil samples and stories of climate change from around the world, highlighting the role of soil conservation in facing the climate crisis. Created by Stephanie Romig-Orr, the exhibition was designed with fellow MA Narrative Environments students at Central Saint Martins and shown at the Barbican, alongside an identity, posters, colour system and soil sample collection kits.
