AILA invites you to Tarntanya / Adelaide for the 2023 Festival of Landscape Architecture UN/EARTH, held on Kaurna Meyunna Yerta (Kaurna People’s Country) and surrounding regions from 19th - 22nd October.
UN/EARTH seeks to illuminate the worlds beneath us through exploration of the physical and metaphoric soil horizons upon which landscape architecture practice is founded. The eroding, geologic, cavernous, mineral, and organic processes that have shaped our planet's crust, so often hidden and beyond our gaze, are the primary source materials for UN/EARTH.
Critical and creative spaces for investigation are unearthed through a focus on varied landscape domains including soils, fertility, geological strata, subterranean infrastructure, mineral excavations, fossil records, enduring practices for living on Country, and archaeologies. Four themes - DEEP EARTH / RAW EARTH / FERTILE EARTH / SUBTERRANEAN EARTH - orientate the festival and its dialogues.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The Festival brings together streams of thought that engage with the elements and life below and within the earth’s surface. These theoretical conversations are enriched by walks and expeditions on Country to Adelaide’s north, southern coast, and urban plains, and to the Adelaide hills, Peramangk Country. A spectacular post-festival visit to the Ikara/Flinders Ranges, Country of the Adnyamathanha People, is also offered.
