About Canopy

Canopy is a series of artistic projects that investigates and maps the ways in which adoption moves people, money and national values across the world. Over the last two years, Selina Thompson Ltd has been connecting with adult adoptees, adopters, foster parents, social workers, community organisers, academics and artists resonating reflections on a global scale. The research to date has taken us to Dublin, Cork, Berlin, Hannover, Beijing, Birmingham and beyond, as we seek to build a collaborative, global community of adult adoptees (who are also artists), researchers, sociologists, historians, legal experts, ecologists, architects and valued partners. Twine is one output of the Canopy project. 

If you have any questions about the Canopy project or would like to connect with us please contact projects@selinathompson.co.uk or sign up to our mailing list at https://selinathompson.co.uk.
