My Daughter Terra, is an anthology bringing together a wide range of international emerging artists, architects, designers and writers. The linguistic shift from mother Earth to daughter suggests our Earth must now be cared for and emphasise our responsibilities towards her. Conceptualised in moments of great emergency, the publication collects many different vantage points and individual perspectives — regional traumas, individual pasts, the most viral of destructions and what might come in the future. My Daughter Terra is a conscious and low-waste publication striving for more sustainable publication practices while also allowing for high-end production. The book itself is coptic stitched, a medieval “spine-less” binding. The covers are handprinted using recycled inks onto paper saved from scraps, sample stocks and off-cuts, making each copy truly unique.
