Speaker Series, Ashfield Library — Wednesday 10 April, 6.30pm-7.30pm

The shape of family has changed in the 21st century. While the nuclear family still exists, many more types of kinship surround us.

Kin is an investigation into what influences us to have children and the new ways that have made parenthood possible. It delves into the experiences of couples without children, single parents by choice and rainbow families, and investigates the impacts of adoption, sperm donation, IVF and surrogacy, and the potential for a future of designer babies.

Marina will be in conversation with Nadine Cohen.
