A Garden Manifesto, edited by Richard Porter and Olivia Laing is back in stock in store and online at PKB

Come see us this Saturday 10 - 6 for new copies of A Garden Manifesto and much more from our catalogue.

“A Garden Manifesto gathers radical visions rooted in the earth from artists, writers, gardeners, and activists, among them Lubaina Himid, Derek Jarman, Jamaica Kincaid, Ana Mendieta, Dan Pearson, and Wolfgang Tillmans. It’s a seed box for an uncertain future, packed with anarchic dreams of Eden-making, and humming with resistance to the colonial project of homogenisation and destruction.”-

Ft. A throwback to Olivia Laing, Richard Porter, and Nate Lippens’ visit to our shop last year.
