This exhibition explores the many ways in which artists approach and represent ideas of kinship, community and belonging.
Family Matters brings together a compelling range of prints, drawings, photographs and paintings, dating from the mid-1800s to today, selected from CUAG’s collection.
These works variously depict tender moments, document public and private spaces, index the everyday and explore familial roles and relationships.
