Community Events & Celebrations

To inspire our journey towards Kinship, we invite our photo kin to share practices, processes, photographs, discoveries, resources, and good news. Have you made a breakthrough on a project you’ve been wrestling with? Found a new favorite spot to photograph? Recently had work published somewhere? We would love to celebrate your artistic practice.

Share your celebrations via Kinship Circle or by tagging @KinshipPhotographyCollective when you post to Instagram.

We also feature photographs and curated stories on Instagram. Share your images with us by using the hashtag #KinshipPhoto.

Landing in Place: Photography Transfer on Handmade Paper with Kaye Savage

Monday, May 12, 2025 9:00 AM - Friday, May 16, 2025 3:00 PM at Warren Wilson College in Asheville, North Carolina

Unite your photographic practice with the materiality of place in the week-long course. We will begin by making meditative images on the Warren Wilson campus and along the Swannanoa River, considering elements of geologic time and cycles of nature. Next, we'll incorporate materials from the landscape, including soil pigments and found plant fragments, into unique handmade papers. Finally, we will join these two art forms through photographic transfer processes.

Between Bodies: A Kinship Call for Submissions

Between Bodies Call for Submissions

The best part of our Kinship calls-for-engagement is the opportunity to see and celebrate the variety of work each of you created and to weave that work into layered offerings that celebrate the power of creative and collaborative dialogue.

It is time to weave ourBetween Bodies explorations into galleries, featured projects, exhibitions, and collaborative shenanigans. Click here for our submission guidelines and share your work with us.

Infinitely Varied and Without Bound Opening 5/31

The fifteen Kinship Photography Collective artists featured in this pop-up exhibition, alongside twenty-six community collaborators, were asked to consider the question: “In what ways is William Bartram’s life, art, writings or philosophy relevant to your creative practice or process?” Each artist was encouraged to go wherever their inquiry took them. Bartram himself might say their encounters were “infinitely varied and without bound.” These installations are best viewed not as answers but as emerging maps of inquiry that offer an interior look into how contemporary artists are encountering Bartram.
