short family history:
From 2013 onwards line kramer and marjolijn kok formed the artist’s collective THE KOKRA FAMILY. This family developed from a long queer relationship. One of their goals is researching the concept of family in all its facets and developing critical art works. They see family as a broad concept and lately are focussing on the material aspects. No artistic medium is avoided and humour and respect are key. In 2015 both members of the family simultaneously developed their own work on residencies abroad. The urge to work together became, however, more clear and in 2016 they transformed their individual studios into a shared workspace.
