Kerb 34: Knot unravels the tangled nature of kinship, tracing the connections we inherit, create and pass along, and asking which of those ties should be strengthened, transformed or released.
About This Book
Kinship describes the connections that tie us to ancestral knowledges, to one another and to the more-than-human world. Kerb 34: Knot treats it as both connection and responsibility, set against a moment of overlapping environmental, technological and social transformation. Contributors examine the relationships, obligations and tensions that shape landscapes, asking not only what connects us, but how those bonds might be reworked. Knot also operates as an editorial method: contributions form an entangled discourse across diverse landscapes, disciplines and knowledges, embracing connection and complexity over resolution. This is landscape architecture attentive to inheritance, obligation and the cultivation of care.
