Kinship Photo Relay: A Global Call and Response

Join us via Zoom Wednesday, June 21st, 7 pm EDT

In early spring, our Kinship community created our first collaborative photography call and response and the Kinship Relay was born. The Kinship Relay was an experiment in the playful magic and alchemy that can happen when we visually communicate across a network of kin. Like the childhood game of telephone, the Kinship Relay began with one community member contributing an image without knowledge of its journey. The next participant had 48 hours to submit a response to that image, and so on. At the request of participants, the relay was an anonymous process, and the order of the photographers and the image creator was not revealed until the end. 

Fifty-two photographer participated and were divided into four. Join us as each group shares their unique results and the spin-off creative projects that have emerged from this collaboration. We don’t want to spoil the surprise, but the results are really amazing!
