Do Something Saturdays: Alternative Family Trees
Event Information
About this event
What
What do ‘family’ and ‘belonging’ really mean? Do Something Saturdays is back with new activities inspired by our exhibition Future Ages Will Wonder. This special edition has been developed by our Learning Team with researcher and visual artist, Youngsook Choi, to explore the formation of families, community and kinship.
Together with the artist, we will make alternative family trees. A family tree usually shows the roots of our family history, made up of the names of our family members in a chronological order. Instead of focusing on marital names to show who our relatives are, this workshop explores the meaning of ‘family’ and ‘belonging’ by sharing stories and memories which will form the elements of a beautiful family mobile to take home.
