Kinship at Open Eye Gallery navigates the dynamics of modern relationships. The exhibition presents projects from seven photographers, all women, addressing traditional ideas of how people might relate to others based on their gender, age, or position within a family. Together, the artists seek to open up new ways of thinking about how we express our sense of kin — as friends, family and partners. Featuring Pixy Liao, Lydia Goldblatt, Momo Okabe, Jenny Lewis, Margaret Mitchell, Johanna Heldebro and Jemma O’Brien.
