[Adoptacomposter] No Waste in Nature: Terra Preta

[Alexandra R. Toland]

hello all,
yes! would love to meet at the exhibition.
I work in the Dept. for Soil Protection at the TU (as artist and
cultural researcher) and Terra Preta is a very controversial and ongoing
topic.
will be @ dOCUMENTA next week but maybe next weekend?
best, Alex
