Publication accompanying the similar titled exhibition and study group Forms of kinship. Unruly Kinships examines the possibilities and forms of kinship and the ways we may create relations with/in the world. Through essays, artistic reflections and conversations, it delves into kinship as something to be made and not given – as an ongoing process of relational experimentation. Spanning three chapters and featuring contributions from artists, theorists and writers, this book ventures into unruly desires, ancestral connections and liberatory forms of care to envision expansive possibilities for kinship. By challenging the boundaries of blood relations, Unruly Kinships inspires a reimagining of care, solidarity and connection in a world where the nuclear family no longer holds absolute sway. Unruly Kinships was part of a broader initiative Islands of Kinship: A Collective Manual for Sustainable and Inclusive Art Institutions, in which Temporary Gallery CCA collaborated with six international partner institutions: Jindřich Chalupecký Society (Prague), Latvian Center for Contemporary Art (Riga), Frame Contemporary Art Finland (Helsinki), Július Koller Society (Bratislava), FRU – Faculty of things that can't be learned (Skopje), and Stroom Den Haag (The Hague).
