Critical Animalia: Campaign Launched!

So the project we’ve been riffing about is finally here:  tonight we launch our Animalia campaign to help raise the funds to produce for our tenth anniversary publication Critical Animalia: A Decade between Disciplines. In fact, wait, look, it’s on, it’s live, NOW. Our campaign will only last 30 days and will be speckled with promotional videos, announcements and surprises. We ask you ever kindly, if you can spare it, please pledge to our campaign and help make this project happen. Any pledge over $30 will secure you a physical copy of the journal, to be picked up at your leisure at the Animalia launch (or posted out subsequent to TiNA). In other words, a $30 pledge is pretty much a lay-by of your copy. Excellent! Of course, as you pledge higher, the rewards get even better.

We have a lot riding on this and appreciate all the support we can muster. We have set a modest target although we’re earnestly hoping to trump it, to ensure all costs are covered, all articles are printed, and all incentives met. The more pledges we receive, the more pages we can print, the better the publication, the better the launch party!

Please click on the link for more information: www.pozible.com/ca13. We’ll keep you posted as to how we’re going throughout the the month. If you can think of anyone you know who might be interested in supporting this project, please don’t hesitate to forward through this call out. Alternatively, like it on fb, retweet it, text it or scribble our deets on the closest cubicle wall.

Also, watch Tulleah, Denise and Eleanor being clever:

A big shout out to CA’13 Artist Dylan Hammond for help with the filming, editing and emotional support.

Thanks a million everyone, let’s speak soon, it’s ON!

Love,

Critical Animals

Inspired by the fabulous contributions and relationships that have emerged through the annual Critical Animals symposium, the publication will address questions regarding what it means to think or act critically today. Exploiting creative, analytical, written and visual formats, the publication will showcase Australian artworks and written pieces that challenge the relegation of critical thought to conventional academic fora, highlighting the intimate links between creativity and criticality as they appear in diverse forms.

Critical Animals have teamed up with Sydney-based project manager Denise Thwaites and designer Evelyn Kwok to produce the inaugural edition of the Critical Animals journal.
