Residual Kin
27 June 2025 - 19 July 2025
What does the body remember when the archive forgets? We leave traces of ourselves and our stories in the skin we touch, the images we create and, the dirt we step into. Lingering fragments, hiding in the mist, scattered in the space between you and us.

Through the works of Nina Kraul Maegaard, Kinga Molińska, Clio Pavlidis Andersson, Tyra Rhedin, and Felicia Roos, the between is understood as physical and metaphysical, as bodily and political, as cultural places, as material limitations, and as analog digital. It is here, in this interstitial place between fixed identifications, that a possibility emerges, of a cultural hybridity without hierarchy, but also of a space from which something becomes perceptible.1 The works do not seek to resolve the gaps but to sit within it. Through affect, gesture, image, and displacement, the artists participate in an act of reconstitution, a residual kin.
Residual kin therefore, emerges in the afterlife of migration, in the half-light of memory, and in spaces of re-entry. It lives in what Victor Turner2 calls “anti-structure,” in the messy, generative liminality of affective proximity. They are what remains, the residue, when categories fall away. The body maps, and in its mappings, we find not only a space for remembering but for relating. Residual kin, then, becomes a method of imagination, a way of being with and for one another in the absence of fixed places/spaces.

Nina Kraul Maegaard (b. 1997)
Nina Kraul Maegaard’s practice sways between the material and the transcendent in a constant attempt to understand the physical and metaphysical world and the overlapping space between the two. She digs, gathers and transforms her material, shaping and tracing its narratives, forging a connection between herself and the matter, often sourced from sites laden with memory. Through her work with the ceramic medium and an almost alchemical process, she explores the world that came before her, the one that will follow, and the nature that surrounds and connects them.
Kinga Molińska (b. 1999)
Kinga is a Polish artist and researcher whose practice moves through softness, resistance, and the politics of the body. She works across painting, sculpture, sound, metal, and textiles, tracing intimate gestures and quiet relations, especially those shared between women. Her work attends to the everyday as a site of tension and care, where weakness becomes a form of resistance and identity is shaped by context, memory, and affect. Through material processes and sensory encounters, she explores the spaces in between: between bodies, places, and times.
Clio Pavlidis Andersson (b. 1998)
Clio Pavlidis Andersson works with the profoundly human: the innermost fragility and the wounds that follow you throughout life. Shaped by her upbringing in Greece and a challenging move to Sweden, she returns to themes such as loss, family and the difficulties of navigating between cultures.
Tyra Rhedin (b. 2001)
Tyra Rhedin is a multimedia artist whose work explores the intersection of material, object, and body. Working with textiles, ceramics, and metal, she creates narrative-driven installations where material properties are charged with meaning. Blending humor and seriousness, Rhedin highlights the body’s complexity, vulnerability, and its central role in human experience.
Felicia Roos (b. 2001)
Felicia Roos is a graphic designer whose practice is grounded in typography and concept development. She works across analog and digital media, often exploring speculative design as a method to spark dialogue and imagine alternative futures — driven by a curiosity about how design can challenge norms and propose new ways of living or thinking. Visual composition, research, and problem-solving are key elements in her creative process, allowing her to navigate complexity and translate abstract ideas into tangible form.
