In a first for the art world, the peatlands of Pat In a first for the art world, the peatlands of Patagonia are representing Chile at the 59th Venice Biennale in 2022. Turba Tol Hol-Hol Tol is curated by Ensayos founder Camila Marambio and is a collaborative and transdisciplinary project in which artists, scientists and experts from different parts of the world collaborate. 
Follow @turbatol to find out more about the project, the creative team and upcoming events. 

As a result of creative fieldwork, Ensayos pods in New York, Norway and Australia, conjured gifts of scent from their local peatlands to contribute to the multisensory experience of Turba Tol Hol-Hol Tol. The bogs and fens of these regions are diverse in their ecologies, cultural meanings, and conservation status. More stories about these peatlands and our gifts of scent to come.
