Welcome to Wild Thickets, a digital publication that explores the community poetics of rewilding. It all started when Dr Kitkat wished to gain inspiration by asking their favourite makers & thinkers around the world to send them a postcard, once a season, in kisetsukan style 季節感, which asked a simple question:
How are you rewilding?
From there, it came alive across oceans, cities and wood wide webs, and now carries a spirit all its own. By rewilding, we are concerned not only with the regeneration of ecosystems, but also our own selves. We look to those messy spaces that lie somewhere in between nature and culture in a more-than-human world, which George Monbiot refers to as “the rewilding of our own lives” and adrienne maree brown as “restoring our rhythm”.
These tales do not view wilderness as a mythical place where nature is separate from everything else. We've been there before, and we know all too well where it leads.
Instead, we look to spaces of wildish repair, healing and celebration, where more-than-human webs are gathering their forces to regenerate worlds ・． 🦪 𓁹‿𓁹
