Kinfolk Issue 61 – The Play Issue

Kinfolk’s Sixty First Issue examines play as a way to move through adulthood with greater joy, curiosity and wonder. “We don’t ever lose the desire to play; we’re just socialized to stop playing in certain ways,” Mia Sundstrom, who leads the National Institute for Play, explains to us on page 154. Throughout the issue, we explore pathways to play, including expert advice on rediscovering your own play type as a busy adult and, failing that, five games devised and demonstrated by artist Carsten Höller for those who don’t know where to begin.
