Kith
Kith is a short film directed and edited by Ruth Jones. It is the outcome of a participatory arts project run by Holy Hiatus that explored family, home, longing and belonging. What does it mean to be part of a ‘family’? How does one’s own identity change when the family shifts and changes – when people leave or arrive through birth, death or voluntary/involuntary separation? How does the passage of time alter our perception of family dynamics? What creative testaments could there be to powerful internal shifting processes, endurance and surrender to new realities? We worked in Welsh and English with thirteen participants from west Wales for who these themes resonated through creative writing.
