REDSTONE DIARY 2024: THE FAMILY

Curated by novelist Julian Barnes, the 2024 edition of the celebrated cult diary explores the mysteries and complexities of family bonds. The family has been an essential subject for artists, writers, singers, therapists and psychoanalysts and it is explored in a marvelous array of texts from writers including Willa Cather, Marcel Proust, Virginia Woolf and Philip Roth. Images include still captures from home movies; photographs of Depression-era group prayer; psychological tests; and artworks such as Paula Rego's disturbing imagery of fatherhood, Frida Kahlo's reimagining of her genealogy and John Lennon's lyrics to his absent mother.
