The new topic of Robida magazine is intimately connected to Robida’s own being – being brambles, giving care, nourishing and protecting soils.
In Robida 9 we will explore soils in all their layered complexity, which suggests to us a vast world of meanings and interpretations. Soil as the symbolic root of culture, tradition, research and artistic practice. Soil as landscape of belonging, struggle and resistance, particularly through the lens of feminisms.Soil as a category of historical and theoretical thought. Soil as an element of spatial and (co)dwelling practice.Soil as an object of geological, microbiological and climatic contamination of art.Soil as an archive of knowledge, a tool for learning and for sensorial experimentation.
