Kerb Journal is one of the longest-running publications of its kind in the world. Over that time, Kerb has served as testbed for the critical explorations of a host of emerging Australian landscape architecture and city-making professionals. The editors of KERB have put out the call for submissions for this year’s edition:
WILD
A force of disturbance and surprise, a catalyst for evolution in the natural world. We invite you with your opinions on can reimagining what is ‘wild’ liberate us from our damaging systems of control?
Wild: a concept that is at once a romanticised abstraction and an opening into the deepest elements of existence, where we see nature in its rawest form. It is a force of disturbance and surprise, a catalyst for evolution in the natural world.
Yet at this moment a paradox of the ‘wild’ and ‘intellect’ is at play on our planet. A discord within a ‘so called civilised’ understanding of our relationship with the environment.
Kerb 29 welcomes contributions from all disciplines to spark a timely debate around the concept of ‘wildness,’ asking if, how, and why we should embrace it. Join us on this journey as we prepare to get wild!
