Celebrating the People of Northern Ireland
Kin is an online magazine and collective comprised of writers, photographers, musicians, artists and filmmakers who have come together to document the lives of the Northern Irish.
Contributors to Kin work on a voluntary basis, knowing that what they do brings pleasure to those that read their words, look at their photographs, listen to their music and enjoy their art. It is as much about the nourishment and creative freedom of the contributors as the people who choose to share their stories.
In some cultures or indigenous communities, ‘Kin’ can be used metaphorically to refer to a close-knit group of people who share deep social, cultural, or spiritual bonds, not necessarily based on blood relation.

Mountains probably more than any other feature of the landscape evoke strong emotions in us all, whether it’s because of their scale and grandeur, the thoughts of adventure and freedom they inspire, the significance given to them in culture and literature, or even the sense of mystery and spirituality that has always been associated with them.
