Ellie Harrison / Polite Rebellion: Loose Ends

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.
