Kinship/City Centre Trail

The term ‘Kinship’ speaks of the interconnected web of social relationships, from our own family ‘kin’ to wider bonds which connect us to the world. This trail further explores how we are intertwined with and co-dependent on the people, animals, histories, images, technology and nature around us.

→ Estimated duration: 3 hours

→ All venues within 20 minutes circular walk of each other.

The Only Good System Is a Soundsystem (2021) by B.O.S.S

Lewis’s Building

Iron Deficiency (2021) and other works by Camille Henrot

The Cardiovascular System (2021) and other works by Ane Graff

Henrot explores the trope of mother and child and the alienation of the body through society’s eyes, seeing the body as a series of actions and excesses. Graff positions the body as one part of a larger system, a meeting place for narratives, materials and influential external factors.
