How can reimagining what is ‘wild’ liberate us from our damaging systems of control? An expanding array of human-made disturbances confronts our world. We are seeing climate crises, a global pandemic, species extinctions and land degradation, and yet the full extent of humankind’s impact on the planet remains uncertain. The systems we have established to civilise and control our environment have distanced us from our landscapes, their non-human inhabitants and each other, leading to unintended but deeply destructive consequences for all. The recently released 29th edition of Kerb, an annual cross-disciplinary design journal produced at RMIT University. examines these systems through the lens of the ‘wild’. Join a select panel of the journals&#x27; editors and contributors in a critical discussion of the human/wild binary, empty wilderness, ‘abandonment’ and ‘othering’, as well as emergent practices in designing with wildness and digital tools.Speakers include:Wendy Steele, Alistair Kirkpatrick, Jordon Lacey (Contributors), and Liam Fenaughty (editorial team member). Ticket prices will be deductible from purchase of this recent issue of Kerb 29.
