Every year, Feral Magazine reflects on the notion of public space from the perspective of artistic practices in touch with today's socio-political emergencies. It collects and extends the reflections exchanged during Feral festival, which brings together artists, thinkers and activists around a common theme. From the relationship between urban and rural (2022), to water solidarity (2023), to the ritual (2024), it is the Medieval that set us collectively to work this past year.

A battle of imaginaries, envisioning new commons, rewildling knowledge… Feral Medieval explores the emancipatory power of the Middle Ages through contemporary artistic practices. In its pages, you will encounter Jane Dark, fiery Beguines, an agency for kin families, an island where people organise against the damning of marshland, creams that make you fly, and many other forms and tactics where the Middle Ages are times of struggle and experimentation.

This third edition was fashioned by Leslie Dourmerx (editor-in-chief), Lucie Caouder and Nina Saulier (graphic design).
