We love hearing from you! Email WONDERLAND’s Editor Greg Cook.
WONDERLAND is an act of envisioning a kinder, more peaceful, more meaningful and wondrous world—by bypassing the usual daily dross and intentionally focusing on activities that already embody the better, more beautiful world we aspire to.
WONDERLAND is rooted in New England, U.S.A., so we’re deeply interested in wondrous things people do here—but we also project our yokelist interest globally, fascinated in wondrous local things all over the place that all too often are overlooked by main art world institutions.
WONDERLAND is an adventure—by way of visual art, woodcuts, photography, graffiti, public art and monuments; spectacles, Bread & Puppet Theater, festivals, parades, circuses, rituals, theater, theme parks, immersive environments, visionary and folk art and places, and over-the-top holiday decorations; puppets, comics, kids books, grownup books; homes and gardens, dive bars, communes, romantic ruins, secret hideouts, treasure maps, the outdoors, the moon, urban wildlife, waterfalls, rainbows; socially-engaged art, civil rights, diversity, activism; posters, broadsides, behind the scenes, how-to, DIY, zines, knitting, quilting, pumpkin-carving, craft, models, dollhouses, history, cosplay, larping, historical reenactment; marching bands, Honk!; mermaids, yetis/bigfoots, UFOs; solutions, mischief, foolishness, shenanigans, surprises, especially things we haven’t seen before. <3
