Through Tracing Ancestral Spaces, KIN Collective creates space and time to (re)discover the stories of our ancestors and cultures, both individually and collectively.

How do you connect with the stories and expectations of your ancestors? How do these stories find a place within your body, within your community? How can we make space for inherited, shared gestures, words, physical pains, dishes and imaginations? And how can we rediscover the lost stories – the stories we have forgotten because, according to normative frameworks, they have no place in Western society?

They will use their residency at BUDA to bring together individual artistic investigations, practices and archives within a single space. In this way, they can continue to develop them side by side and allow them to interact with one another in ever-changing relationships, connections and meanings.

KIN Collective

KIN Collective is a transdisciplinary art collective with Kenneth Cardon, Lois Lumonga Brochez, Daantje Idelenburg, Sara Lâm and Milan Vandierendonck. Their practice, which is always evolving, consists of artistic research, performance, artistic archiving, spaceholding, writing, illustration, digital arts, movement, and music. They work horizontally, continuously seeking ways to ensure every voice is heard. This requires an ongoing practice of care, attuning and transforming.
