Be a Bee: A Kinship Show & Share

Join us via Zoom Wednesday, May 7th, 7 pm EDT

As we continue to explore the element of air as the medium that carries and stimulates a multitude of sensations, emotions, and images, we invited our Kinship community to consider how smell might impact the way we make photographs. Together we considered how smell impacts our sense of kinship with the natural world, and how that changes the way we see, feel and make photographs.

Inspired by our Kinship conversation with Jake Eshelman, the Kinship community was invited to go on an olfactory adventure. Here we were asked to consider scent as both a creative medium and an ecological language. Like orchid bees, we collected scent in the form of photographs by visually recording the impact that scent had on the way we see, relate to, and connect with the subjects we smell.  

Please join us for a Kinship Show & Share and we invite participating photographers to share their images and experience. If you would like to participate, click here for the prompt. Deadline for submission is Wednesday, May 7th at 11 am.
