Call for submissions
Rekindle’s next project, Resource: Rise
Again, is focused on facilitating development of new uses for undervalued
resources, in an effort to enable diversion of reusable resources from waste via
design, creativity and craftsmanship.
As part of this project, Rekindle is
curating a multi-author journal that explores the pertinent issues related to
waste, sustainability and environmental concerns, and investigates potential
responses to waste diversion through object-making, waste-minimisation and
conservation. It will serve as a platform and archive, as well as a source of
information of how change can be implemented.
We are calling out for original,
thought-provoking submissions (both written and visual) from a wide range of
contributors. Different cultural backgrounds, spiritual
understandings, scientific fields, occupations and opinions can all offer critical responses to waste and insight into the
way we relate to our resources.
These responses could include, but are
not limited to, ideas regarding: environmental concern,
sustainable design, kaitiakitanga, reuse, resourcefulness, design,
craft/object-making, community resilience, community collaboration, financial
viability and waste-minimisation. Each contributor is encouraged to discuss
these issues from their own particular perspective and specific field of
knowledge.
For more information please contact info@rekindle.org.nz. Please send your submissions and expressions of interest to info@rekindle.org.nz by 29 April. Pitches should be maximum one page and include a description of the idea and the contributor’s relevant experience. If accepted, first drafts will be due in mid-June.
