Familial (adj): relating to or occurring in a family; descendants of a common ancestor.

[Latin familia ‘family’]

To whom it may concern,

Familial Love Letters is an anonymous collective art project that celebrates and highlights any and all expressions of romantic love.

If you have sent or received any letters, texts, diary entries, poems, song lyrics, etc., that encapsulate this form of love, please submit in this form on the right.

This project is an opportunity to platform and celebrate all articulations of love that are already circulating amongst all of us. To amplify and draw attention to these relationships that are foundational to our lives, our wellbeing, and our capacity for joy.

I wanted to establish this project not solely as a reaction to the horrors and atrocities we are seeing throughout the work right now. Rather, I wish this to be a poignant reminded of the immensely vast and deep sea of love that we are privileged as humans to experience. To profile and relish in the fundamental importance of these connections.

Submissions are open for entry until the eleventh of November 2026 (11.11.26).

Sent with love,

Rachael

All submissions will be compiled into their separate categories (platonic, familial, paramour) to be shared as a digital scrapbook, physical scrapbook, and exhibition.

All entries are entirely anonymous - even I cannot see who uploads. I will blur out any names - you are welcome to blur/ block them out prior to entry if you would prefer.

I shall be garnering no costs from this project (any books costs shall be solely to cover the cost of manufacturing). This is simply an offering for us all to share, enjoy and revel in bliss encapsulations of platonic, familial and paramour love.
