In the spirit of the quote, “In relation, every subject is an object and every object is a subject” (Edouard Glissant), the two curators of the exhibition Making Kin invite you to engage with the relational worldview of the twelve artists represented and to weave your own connections:
The exhibition brings together works by Catherine Blackburn, Aziza Kadyri, Mae-ling Lokko, Meryl McMaster, Caroline Monnet, Katja Novitskova, Soe Yu Nwe, Odun Orimolade, Judith Raum, Cara Romero, Zina Saro-Wiwa, and Haegue Yang. Their different practices are united by the understanding that we are all woven into a dynamic network of relationships: with other people, animals, plants, spirit beings, the cosmos—but also with our office chair.
