Beyond Nuclear Family: Home Sweet Home
17 Nov, 2022 - 07 Jan, 2023
The exhibition Beyond Nuclear Family: Home Sweet Home seeks to provide a critical revision of the modern Western concept of the family and, through the works of more than forty international artists, explores the alternatives 鈥� historical and contemporary, geographical and cultural, utopian and fictional. The third chapter of this long-term research and discursive project, after two iterations in Berlin and in Prague, seeks to redefine the questionable concept of the Nuclear Family and bring it back to its original 鈥榟ome鈥�, the U.S., where it was coined and distributed in the second half of the 20th century.
Through paintings, photographs, videos, texts, sculptures, textiles, performances, and installation, the works in this exhibition portray and critically analyze contemporary notions of family, kinship, and togetherness. They bring forth conversations about chosen family and queer kinship; utopian family revolutions and coexistence models; deficiency in cultural capital; fragility and ambiguity of relationship patterns; institutional childcare models; feminist chains of support; as well as familial traumas and institutional care or lack of it.
