Above Us Only Soil

This zine began as a quick conversation in Mexico City about rooftops; how much space lies above us, unused. What if we saw them not as blank concrete slabs, but as spaces for care, collaboration and commons?

Above Us Only Soil is a visual reflection on how we build, maintain and share space.

What can a rooftop garden teach us about power, care and collective life?

Across 11 pages, it explores systems through seeds, tensions through tomatoes and trust through the tangle of pipes beneath every project. It’s part instruction, part poetry, part quiet resistance.

Created using hand-drawn textures and post-print markups, this is both a tool and a provocation.

Print it. Pass it on. Sketch in the margins.
