We asked artists to reflect and consider the pain and the promise that is involved in creating alternative networks of care and support. Once created, what do these relationships look, feel, and sound like? How is family made and unmade again and again? Who have you claimed and who has claimed you? In these times when community is key to our very survival, we ask creatives to submit their work that reflects the complexities of kinship. "Chosen Family" is a compilation of written work and mixed media that documents what it means to build affinity beyond blood.
