Me, Family. Portrait of a Young Planet is an expansive project presenting works by thirty-seven artists from China, Korea, Russia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the United States. Drawing inspiration from the iconic 1955 exhibition The Family of Man, curated by Edward Steichen, it attempts to sketch an updated portrait of our place within the rapidly evolving technological reality of twenty-first century globalised society.

Edited by Francesco Bonami, this book brings together newly commissioned essays by Omar Kholeif, Natalia Kucirkova, Emanuela Mazzonis, Anke Reitz, and Ali Smith, together with texts by Roland Barthes, Carl Sandburg and Edward Steichen.
