FINDING LOCAL SOLUTIONS TO GLOBAL PROBLEMS
About Us
GOODLand is a Living Archive within Martha Atienza’s ArtLab. Based on Bantayan Island, Philippines, it uses art as a methodology to explore how communities respond to environmental, social, and economic challenges through collective learning, local knowledge, and experimentation.

Experiment
We create collaborative projects that test ideas around food, water, ecology, education, and community resilience.
