[EN] School of love organizes an arts laboratory on kinship, friendship and the speculating of new family alliances. Togethermess is 5 days of critical examination of the traditional nuclear family concept to develop ideas, practices, rebellions, and skills for the emergence of ‘kin families’.

“We wish to articulate practices of kinship. Yet when we look around us, when we look at families, at the relationships that society supports, at the ways in which romantic love prevails over friendship, at which bonds are legitimated, we realize that our choices are so limited. We realize that our imagination is so narrow, conditioned by values and principles stemming from religion, capitalism or other ideologies. We struggle to conceive a multiplicity of forms family could take, that care could be extended or love practiced.”

[NL] School of love organiseert een laboratorium over verwantschap (kinship), vriendschap en het speculeren rond nieuwe familieverbanden. Togethermess is 5 dagen kritisch onderzoek naar het traditionele concept van de kernfamilie om ideeën, praktijken, opstanden en vaardigheden te ontwikkelen voor het ontstaan van verwante families.

Het doel van Togethermess is om prototypes te creëren voor tools, verbindingen voor solidariteit en ondersteuningsstructuren voor ‘kin-families’, die gebruikt en geïmplementeerd kunnen worden in onze persoonlijke relaties, instituten en collectieven.
