Make Kin – The Art and Science of Radical Reproduction
How do we redefine kinship and reproduction when biology itself becomes a site of intervention? How might rituals of care, maintenance, and collective responsibility resist systems of inequality?
At stake are urgent questions of care, justice, and survival.
Bringing together thinkers rooted in feminist praxis and queer theory—such as Paul Preciado (ES), Jack Halberstam (US), and Sophie Lewis (UK) — this symposium / performance / event / creative protest asks how we might imagine reproduction and kinship differently, beyond patriarchal structures and the nuclear family. Alternatives which can co-exist with the traditional, in order to ensure better and more including options for a more diverse society.
Engaging with radical thinkers and pioneering ideas, the symposium invites artists, philosophers, scientists, and theorists to reimagine what it means to belong, to parent, and to create together.
The program unfolds through keynotes, talks, and workshops, culminating in the performance In Loco Parentis by artist Charlotte Jarvis. The symposium is inspired by her ongoing project In Loco Parentis, developed during her residency at The Culture Yard in collaboration with the European Digital Deal. Imagining forms of collective reproduction, the work interrogates the boundaries of law, ethics, and kinship—offering a speculative framework for rethinking how we might parent, belong, and care together beyond the nuclear family.
The Symposium program will be updated between the 8th and 15th of September, with keynote titles and info, as well as workshop, screenings, panels and additional talks. Also coming up info on upcoming group exhibition inspired by the theme of symposium under the title Mutating Matters with artists such as Charlotte Jarvis (UK), Ai Hagesawa (JP), Ida Lunden (DK), Erin Robinson (UK) and more. The exhibition will premiere a week prior to this event, and be on display to see for the guests.
Please stay tuned, share the event and get your tickets here. More info coming soon !
