MAKING KIN: Group Exhibition

Inspired by multispecies feminist theorist Donna Haraway’s book, ‘Staying with the Trouble: Making Kin in the Chthulucene’ (2016), the exhibition brings together practices which utilise storytelling to explore ways of reimagining humanity’s relationship with the earth and its inhabitants.

Taking up Haraway’s invitation to “stay with the trouble” by “making oddkin”, these artists draw on their experiences of post-colonial, indigenous, herbalist and rural contexts to envisage alternative ways of living together on a damaged earth. From hopeful narratives of symbiotic flourishing, to visions of post-apocalyptic survival, the works on show invite viewers to recognise the power of speculative-fiction in carving out routes to alternative futures besides global ecological devastation.
