Bedtime Stories: odd tongues for oddkin is a participatory, text-led art project exploring queer, non-biological kinship through intimacy, play, and collective making. Using fridge-magnet poetry, collage, diaristic fragments, and workshops, participants are invited to compose, de-compose, and reassemble language around care, family, grief, and belonging—embracing the poetics of ruin, decay, and impermanence—extending the experimental and collaborative ethos of Incubator 4 Anothertime through non-linear narratives, participatory making, and speculative kinship.

Developed in collaboration with Dr. Lizzie Reed (University of Southampton), the project has received support from University of Southampton’s Sociology’s department, enabling workshops, process documentation, and the creation of an artist publication (due 2026).

Rooted in queer, decolonial, and posthuman thought, the work foregrounds shared authorship, tender gestures, and speculative forms of relation as sites of connection, transformation, and resistance.
