We Zine The Future

Join us at 6pm for a zine-making workshop designed for families, by artists collective Brain Crusher & Kin Games (BC&KG) as part of the exhibition Still, We Gather

In this special family workshop as part of Still, We Gather, Brain Crusher & Kin Games (BC&KG) will explore the process of zine making as a tool for children and young people to explore their feelings and thoughts about what is happening in the world politically and socially.

Brain Crusher & Kin Games (BC&KG) is an art collective formed by members of the Pettit-Navarro family. They have been working together since 2023 in various projects in the areas of music, experimental publications, public interventions and performance. The works produced by BC&KG address environmental questions, social violence, self-repression, censorship, discrimination and colonialism.

BC&KG explore how the processes behind making art in a domestic setting can reshape the idea we have of family, not just a functional and social structure, but as a place to encounter, to share, to develop a sense of caring and understanding of the world around us and as a tool to carry out and convey collectively as a family our feelings and emotions in relation to that world.
