February 15th, 2026 – On Support Pods

Kin Tales are monthly gatherings to share lived kinship experiences and collectively reimagine family structures. This Kin Tales session marks the first of two consecutive gatherings dedicated to collective care and support pods.

Support pods are small, intentional groups of people who commit to supporting one another through care, accountability, and shared responsibility. They can be formed around shared needs, values, identities, territory, or specific moments in life, and they help us move from improvised, one-to-one care toward more collective and sustainable ways of holding each other — especially in times of crisis or transition.

Together, we will:

* map our personal and collective circles of support
* identify gaps, needs, and shared capacities
* form small groups around common concerns
* experiment with concrete, imaginative ways of offering and organizing care

The afternoon will move between individual reflection, small-group work, and collective sharing, creating an intimate, playful, and serious space to think — and practice — care together.

The Aunties Collective reimagines kinship beyond traditional boundaries. We are eight practitioners working across activism, architecture, visual arts, performance, bio-engineering, law, and participatory methods.
