Skal vi gå i haven?
Alfrieda Seren, kunstner, havealf og naturkontakts formidler deler i magasinet The NXT: Garden of Desire et dagbogsnotat fra en have i Aarhus. Jeg går i haven. Det har jeg gjort gennem hele min slægt. Min søsters semiambitiøse slægtsforskning endte ude i Vestjylland, hvor min slægt har levet med og af jorden, så længe papirsporene rækker. Og…

Seeing the city as a garden
Article by landscape architect and researcher Anna Aslaug Lund about Human-made urban landscapes for The NXT magazine: Garden of Desire. In essence, as physical spaces that contain multiple lives and stories, could we not then describe cities as remodeled landscapes?

Or rather, one is precisely both.…

In the beginning was nature
On a symbolic level, the garden is our original home, a hortus conclusus, an architectural composition of earth, a material metaphor for our relation to nature. The gardens, which the hands of humans have cut, trimmed, cropped, watered; these shapes, figures and collections, tell us something about ourselves as a species. Different times have brought forth…

This is not a blank canvas
Throwing shade on this damp moss. The sun falls in patches here, rivers of flies and other tickly critters on us. Standing here, we hold place. Soil and roots. Cool, moist, damp, and dark under the surface; a mirrored world. The movements slower, as air comes to play, whispering all the changes, the tell-tales, and…

Digte om klimakrisen
I vores printede magasin The NXT inviterer vi bl.a. kunstnere, poeter, forfattere og filosoffer til at bearbejde klimakrisen.
