We’re frequently involved in conversations about what comprises an intervention, and what makes interventions effective. The Urban Wilderness Action Center (UWAC) is expanding that line of inquiry further, asking: “What is it in which we’re intervening?”
UWAC is an Eyebeam family project, initiated by alum Jon Cohrs and in collaboration with Eyebeam Student Residents and artist Kai-Oi Jay Yung. It’s a guerrilla gardening effort, combined with a discursive online platform that seeks out the ground beyond the more common manifestations of nonhuman life in urban environments. Beyond those parks, urban farms, and the ivy that grows in abandoned lots, what is urban wilderness?
If you have an answer, submit it to UWAC here.
Some respondents will have the opportunity to present their ideas, selected by UWAC, at the international Electrosmog festival this March.
