The project Islands of Kinship interconnects six mid-scale visual art institutions across diverse regions in Europe (Prague, Bratislava, Bitola/Skopje, Cologne, Helsinki, Riga) in an innovative collaboration model addressing issues of inclusion, kinship and togetherness, democratic exchange and the ethics, emotions and practical solutions for a sustainable and fair institutional operation. This publication is a result of our joint endeavors to address these themes via collaborative exhibitions, educational and public programs, co-commissioned artworks, but most importantly through smaller and larger transformative institutional experiments, aimed both at the inner operation, and outer collaboration and communication.
