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.
The exhibition was curated by: Kerstin Pinther, Curator for Modern and Contemporary Art in Global Context & Ute Marxreiter, Research Associate for Education and Outreach, Ethnologisches Museum and Museum für Asiatische Kunst, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz
At the tour on 28 November, artists Soe Yu Nwe, Catherine Blackburn, and Judith Raum will be present alongside Kerstin Pinther and Ute Marxreiter.
