Kinship Care Community is an ongoing project that brings together nurturing collectivies, sensitivities and resourcefulness from a speculative perspective.
The movement started in New York, USA, consisting of roughly 150 people of diverse identities, genders, ages, races, and sexes getting pregnant with an artificial womb for the Northern long-eared bats, the scientific name myotis septentrionalis.
The project explores the concept of artificial pregnancy to restore dwindling populations of endangered animals due to climate change-related habitat loss. For Kinship Care Community: Kin is made through care.
Care is not just about humans but the earth and all the living. In this community, families are not made of blood, genes, or heterosexuality, including humans and non-humans. Kinship is not rooted in patriarchy.
Kinship Care Community embraces diverse ways of relating and living, of perceiving and making, both as a community and as individuals engaged in mutual responsibility. We are searching for avenues to transcend boundaries and repair a precarious world.
