Every living thing in the world is part of one giant family network. Where would your unique place be in the grand constellation of nature, and who would be your closest relatives?
Over three hours, we will examine our unique traits, like how we move, communicate, or present ourselves, and turn them into blueprints for new kinds of creatures.
Using the “Kinship Compass”, an easy-to-use digital tool powered by global biodiversity data, we will match our characteristics to existing organisms that share our ways of being.
By the end of the session, we will transform the workshop space into a Kinship Map, highlighting the beautiful and surprising connections between us and all the other beings on our planet.

- Those who like exploring new perspectives
