Tuesday evenings —October 21st to November 25th. Weekly invitations are posted on Kinship Circle.

For this online Kinship Circle invitation, we will examine our favourite works of artists who have spoken for water, what success in this field could look like and how it has been achieved. As an asynchronous practice gathering Jon will lead with examples and prompts and facilitate the conversation throughout the time between new activities.This practice group can be combined with Zoom based practice groups and is open to all Kinship Circle members.

October 6 - November 24.

Meets Every Monday 6:30 - 8:30pm ET for 8 weeks.

During this eight week practice group we will consider these guiding questions: In what ways does the flow of water around us and within us make us feel alive? In what ways might particular objects offer portals to elemental states of mind and being? In the process of exploring the idea of aliveness, we will consider how photography can help us make sense of the unexpected life-forces contained within seemingly inanimate things.

October 9 - November 13

Meets every Thursday from 6:00-8:00pm ET via Zoom for 6 weeks.

In this practice group, we will explore water through self portraiture and embodied photography practices, all the while asking questions intended to expand and shift our creative practice. We will explore water’s capacity for aiding transformation and transition, holding grief, and the relationship between our own bodies and the bodies of water we live with.

November 4– December 2

Meets Every Tuesday 7 – 9pm ET for 5 weeks.

In this five-week practice group, we will explore water as photographic subject matter both literally and metaphorically. Water is unique in that it exists in solid, liquid, and gaseous states. How does this fluidity manifest in natural and human-constructed environments, and how can it be applied to how we live our lives as artists? How do the transitions between these three states of being present a type of flow that can be adapted to art-making?
