the aunties collective - kin tales

a monthly gathering to share lived kinship experiences and collectively reimagine family structures.
every 3rd sunday of the month, 14h - 17h - by the aunties collective

love engagements based on kinship, solidarity, and communality always existed as an alternative to the nuclear family model. yet, they often remain institutionally unacknowledged and socially incompatible. the nuclear family, which still informs our desires and social imagination, is the cause for many issues of exclusion in our societies. 

how can we spark imaginaries to fuel alternative family lives with more joy, visibility, sustainability and safety? what new terminologies and structures can we invent ourselves, and take care together of the needs our institutions have failed to honor? 

whether you wish to engage with kin constellations, already practicing it, or even just feel that you care about it - please join us. each kin tales event will focus on a different aspect of such engagements. be welcome to share your own tales, learn from those of others, propose new aspects to explore together, build community, and perhaps even develop future plans with us.

the aunties collective is dedicated to reimagining kinship beyond traditional boundaries. The collective consists of 7 members who's practices span across activism, architecture, visual art, performance, engineering, law, and participatory methodologies.
