The exhibition celebrates family, community and the “invisible threads that hold us together” 💓
For her latest project, she takes on a curatorial role, platforming 17 of her favourite women and non-binary artists. The resulting exhibition, titledexplores similar themes to much of Kurland’s previous work, including communal rituals, the experience of marginalised identities, and our ever-changing perception of home. According to the photographer, the main focus of the show is on family and community: “what is felt rather than seen”, and the “invisible threads that hold us together”.
The exhibition contains over 70 varied pieces of work, ranging from staged studio portraits to glowing, chemically rendered light poems. Some of the pieces focus on more conventional readings of family, with contemplations on parenthood and the maternal bond – like Calafia Sanchez-Touzé’s uneasy, allegorical portraits of her mother and father, and Annie Wang’s 20-year documentation of her relationship with her son.
“[These artists] consistently refuse an emblematic or fixed identity,” explains Kurland in the show’s accompanying statement. “Instead, they have squeezed, smeared, and repurposed their DNA into a family album without limit, resurrected ancestors, and activated psychic space in order to give shape to their experience.
