SOILED – No.3 Platescrapers – Call for Submissions

SOILED (www.soiledzine.org) operates at the interstices of architecture, urbanism, and the pedosphere, providing a venue for dialogue and exploration. SOILED investigates collective issues, documenting hidden systems and in-between spaces. SOILED curates ideas from the arable to the obscene, decentering the conventional categories used to define the built environment. SOILED employs narratives, manifestoes, mappings, ephemera and live events, inviting the broader public to participate in architectural discourse.

SOILED is calibrated filth.

Platescrapers probes the invisible structures, narratives, and ingredients that collectively nourish and sustain the human body. By inhabiting the intersection of foodstuff and place, Platescrapers navigates a continuum of cultivating, processing, peddling, and devouring. Platescapers aims to purvey stories about the social issues and exaggerated realities embedded in edible encounters while avoiding statistics and buzz words. Akin to the issues of SOILED before it, Platescrapers believes that the printed page can transcend the bookshelf—that print media can orient itself with the dinner table, according to architectural and caloric coordinates.

SOILED invites narratives, manifestoes, critical essays, infographics, diagrams, mappings, photographs, comics, speculations, and ephemera, among other salient media, to respond to the above instigation. If you’d like to contribute, please review our submission guidelines, posted on our website: http://soiledzine.org/submit/
