Our soils take up to hundreds of years to form. But one extreme event is enough to destroy it in a matter of minutes. Every year, 100 million hectares of healthy and productive soil are destroyed - an area about three times the size of Germany. Restoring our soils is of the utmost urgency not only for ourselves, but also for biodiversity and the global climate. Land is of existential importance for our lives, and it is a treasure of immeasurable value that must be preserved.
Far from a dark vision of the future, the exhibition aims to inspire action for the common cause. The immersive exhibition Save Land was developed in cooperation with the UNCCD-G20 Global Land Initiative. It combines important positions of contemporary art with exhibits from the natural sciences and uses the latest media technologies to understand the global situation of our land areas. What is the state of our soils in cities and on land used for agriculture and industry? And is there any untouched nature left in the world? What can we do to protect our soils? The exhibition aims to inspire action for a common cause.
