From romantic love to a community of responsibility - what does the "family" spectrum encompass? For a long time, the focus was on the classic family. But today, people's living situations have become more diverse. There are rainbow and foster families, people who live with or without children, are single parents, have one or more partners. These new models of life are creating new kinds of communities.

With this thematic space, we approach the legendary "family", and also show how diverse it can be.
