worms for the world



tonight! friday, january 19th from 8pm to midnight, echo curio is hosting their first themed exhibition:

"Worms Save the Planet: From Vermiculture to the Culture of Worms"



vermiculture
is a form of composting using earthworms. vermicompost is very different from compost produced in compost piles by bacterial decay, and is much richer in many nutrients making it perfect as a top layer of soil. you can find more information behind the concept for this exhibit as well as juicy vermiculture info here.

Now is your chance to learn how worms can save the planet!
That's right, the wiggly, dirt-dwellers will reduce green house
gas emissions, limit the amount of harmful chemicals used in
the world, lower the impact of trash on the environment and
even save you money! With LIVE WORMS you can actually FEED!

+ Opening Reception for our Wormy Art show featuring wormy works.


+ ECHO CURIO's first CDR release party. 21 Musicians creating Wormy
songs to satisfy those wormy cravings.

+ Squirm out to the narcotic sounds of Fantastic Sleep as they perform
their wormy music while wiggling around in sleeping bags.

+ Extraspecial artist designed wormy buttons and t-shirts

All of this is brought to you FREE. ECHO CURIO is here for YOU!
