ABOUT:

Epitaph for Family is a multi-media project by Johanna Breiding exploring love, intimacy, loss, and queer family-making through the image and connotations of the horizon line. The project includes commissioned texts by Maggie Nelson, Malene Dam, and Don Romesburg, and an exhibition catalogue designed by Bullhorn Press.

She Male Snails weaves intimate bath time conversations between Ester Martin Bergsmark and the writer Eli Levén together with the story of Pojktanten– a fantasy world that centers on a person caught between two genders who creates a third in order to survive.
