Qualities of Collective Learning Topsoil
This pamphlet emerged from the conversations Topsoil, a curatorial and research collective, instigated with a series of different artists and collectives throughout 2022. Through these conversations, Topsoil learned that there are many reasons for gathering and many ways of working collectively, with many conditions and intentions shaping these collective endeavors.
For this publication Topsoil have created an inventory of qualities that characterize collective work based on their experience of the online exchanges and their subsequent mappings. Topsoil hold the belief that transformation is something that can be exercised. Therefore, these same qualities have also been translated into exercises that can help readers to rehearse the different aspects of collective work presented in the publication.
