Artist Ellie Harrison invites you to make space for your chosen family tree in this gentle and participatory installation.
Formal family histories and genealogies might not show who really looks after us or who we care for most.
Loose Ends helps us see what our chosen families really look like.
Drop into Trinity shopping centre to work with Ellie to create your own chosen family tree. You can take it home with you, share it with others, or just have a look around and a chat about your chosen family.
About
Loose Ends is part of Compass Festival, a whole month of interactive art across Leeds, unfolding 1–30 November 2024.
Polite Rebellion is a disabled-led company facilitating the practice of Leeds-based artist Ellie Harrison, previously of The Grief Series. Their work is radically gentle and playfully subversive.
Content guidance
The piece discusses family relationships and so has segments that mention trauma, domestic violence and other sensitive subjects. These will be labelled individually to help audiences of all ages navigate safely.
