The nuclear family is the family as we know it: father, mother and one or more children. The rise of industrialization and capitalism made the nuclear family a financially viable social unit. Thus, the nuclear family accounts for the growth of the economy as we know it today, and contributes to today's capitalism and patriarchy.

Anna Schlooz is curious about other forms of family formation and care. Inspired by maintenance art and experiences in both the queer community and youth care, she wants to look for other forms of care with and for each other. She will work with many different people in this project because she does not want her voice to be the only one heard on this topic. The focus on care will be felt throughout the process. Since care goes hand in hand with food and cooking, this will also be a big part of the project.
