Family trees are one of the oldest and most conservative expressions for familyhood and goes back to 1300 BC – a way for the mighty to manifest their right to power through blood.
In order to reflect a more updated image of family hood, we created a new interpretation of this ancient art form: A family tree for chosen families.
The Chosen Family Tree was created in collaboration with contemporary artist Pierre Marie, portrayed in the form of a bespoke tapestry.
A campaign showing that families based on emotional ties are just as real as biological families – giving them the family tree they always deserved. Since the launch, the tapestry has travelled across various cities and is now a part of the permanent collection at Queer Britain, UK’s first national LGBTQ+ museum in London.
