In this time of singularity and isolation brought about through political disparity and chaos, with everyone being forced to individualise kinship structures need to be changed and given a greater importance in our lives. I have created a proposition in the form of an artwork as a way to create space from conversations around kinship in order to produce, and question how we validate knowledge. It is a way to map out a family tree in a Queer sense. Moreover, looking to how you create your own narrative in relation to others.

This is an ongoing study that is in early development stages....

PRACTICE OF GENERATING KNOWLEDGE OF KINSHIP STRUCTURES Q & A, 2016

What kind of friend are you? How do you validate kinship? Who has been a mentor to you? Have you ever been betrayed by a friend? Who has influenced you the most? What is your earliest memory of friendship? How do gender dynamics affect your friendships? Does physical attraction play a role in your friendships? How does lived experience shape your friendships? How do you map out your network? What does mutual witnessing mean to you?
