[*Unlikely Journal for Creative Art*](http://bit.ly/2BXbmil?ref=hyperallergic.com) is a transdisciplinary online journal based in Australia, which opens unexpected spaces for artistic exchange and scholarly conversations across mediums, disciplines, and continents. An experiment in form, each journal issue explores a theme through a two-stage process: live events/exhibitions showcasing the work of creative arts practitioners, followed by peer reviewed publication of creative arts work and scholarly articles and essays.

The latest three issues of *Unlikely*, now available online, entangle aesthetic, environmental, and political concerns:

- Issue 3, *cancelled* (ed. Maia Nichols), explores “how the fields of communication, hacking, design, architecture, activism, scientific or artistic practices produce effects through cancellation, deflection, or discretion.”
- Issue 4, *Art and Herbarium* (eds. Tom Bristow, Jan Brueggemeier & Danielle Wyatt), “responds to the need for environmental literacy that can account for our collective implication in the story of anthropogenic climate change and species loss.”
- Special Issue 5, *Reimagining Maralinga* (eds. N.A.J. Taylor, Paul Brown, & Ellise Barkely), reframes the Australian experience of British nuclear weapons testing in the ’50s and ’60s — which particularly affected Indigenous communities — through “a bricolage of community ‘voices’ from Australian indigenous peoples, nuclear veterans, global atomic survivors, artists and scholars.”

*Unlikely* also publishes books and e-books and hosts evolving projects. The publication’s latest book is [*An Act of Showing: rethinking artist-run initiatives through place*](http://bit.ly/2PswsZw?ref=hyperallergic.com), edited by Maria Miranda and Anabelle Lacroix.

The publication’s editor is Norie Neumark and coordinator is Jan Brueggemeier.

***Unlikely* is currently accepting proposals for guest editing of themed journal issues. For information, email info@unlikely.net.au or visit** [**unlikely.net.au**](http://bit.ly/2BXbmil?ref=hyperallergic.com)**.**
