This is “internodes / міжвузля” by Maya Hayda @mayahayda, a project conceived for the Kinship exhibition.

“internodes / міжвузля” is a web-based platform that brings together Ukrainian multidisciplinary artists, filmmakers, writers, and curators to reflect on how kinship is being defined and redefined in the face of war, displacement, and ecocide. The project engages with questions such as: What does noticing and nurturing collective dreams of living and letting live look like? What are the affective powers of making kin beyond human entities and socio-political boundaries in envisioning shared futures?

Internodes are spaces between. The word’s translation in Ukrainian, міжвузля, contains вузoл, or knot. Highlighting intersections, the project evokes new plant growth, as well as networks that bind us together. It decenters the notion of an isolated individual by emphasizing connections between points. As such, “internodes / міжвузля” cultivates a context for dialogue, offering a chance to listen, write, grieve, gather, and reflect with one another as a means of forging more expansive and generative understandings of kinship that ground us in principles of accountability, care, and solidarity.

internodes / міжвузля situates itself amidst many worlds, acknowledging how, to borrow from Trinh T. Minh-ha “the dive up and down within self-set boundaries leads nowhere, unless self-set devices to cross them are also at work. Moving from flight to flight, more of us have come to see, not only that we live in many worlds at the same time, but also that these worlds are, in fact, all in the same place—the place each one of us is here and now.”

This project, in its initiation, convenes and cultivates collective reflection, listening, and re-envisioning of kinship in a contemporary Ukrainian context, including the diaspora. However, it intends to broaden this context, and speak with and to other communities as well.

Internodes are spaces in between, a term often used in biology to indicate the section between buds or leaves on a plant stem. Translating into “міжвузля” which contain the word вузол, or knot, the title of this initiative also gestures towards bonding ties between us, networks of solidarity that assemble and unite us across disparate geographies, temporalities, and entities.

How can we act as one node among many, finding connection, and building solidarity through dialogue, gathering and other kin-making practices?

This question, among others, is key to internodes / міжвузля. We can’t wait to share the project with you next week ! by @internodes.internodes
