Two exhibtions featuring contemporary artistic positions expand the perspective on a transcultural and relational understanding of kinship within the framework of Family Matters. The curators introduce you to local and international artists who reflect on belonging beyond blood ties or standardized images of family promoted by the state.

While Nothing as Our Ground foregrounds interpersonal relationships that arise from shared experiences of precarious living conditions and practices of everyday solidarity, Making Kin focuses in particular on relational ontologies, and (material) entanglements between humans, the land and other living beings.
With resilience, sensitivity, and humour, the artists show in their works how diverse and contradictory relationships that cross generations and borders and go beyond rigid, exclusionary family models are lived and recreated.
