About Edgelandia

From salt flats to flood zones, abandoned villages to eroding coastlines, Edgelandia explores the remarkable places on the edges of the map: between land and water, wild and reclaimed, real and imagined.

Edgelandia is a four-year multi-disciplinary initiative conceived by publisher and arts producer Penned in the Margins. Through three new commissions each year, Edgelandia will explore the remarkable places and people on the edges of the map: between land and water, wild and reclaimed, real and imagined.

Director Tom Chivers says, “Edgelandia is about creating artistic ‘disruptions’ that change the way we think about place and reveal rich, complex histories. I want to discover hidden stories and forgotten landscapes in locations that don’t usually receive a lot of attention. I’m excited to work with artists from right across Britain and from a broad range of backgrounds and artistic practices”.
