You are one of the Forgetful Kindred! Though you may not remember it. 

This book is both an exhibition catalogue and an invitation to play a roleplaying game about a forgetful group of utopians who hope for a better future but keep forgetting their past. 

‘THE FORGETFUL KINDRED’ was a solo exhibition by Francis Patrick Brady curated by Marie Dufresne in 2025 at Kunsthal 6100. The exhibition was structured around the rules of a game which invited you to create a character and join a fictional utopian scouting movement called the FKK (Forgetful Kindred Kift) who are loosely based on the real 1920’s British scouting movement the Kibbo Kift. 

The book includes a foreword by Professor Annebella Pollen, author of The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift: Intellectual Barbarians and introduction essays on play and art by Francis Patrick Brady and the curator of the exhibition Marie Dufresne. 

As well as documenting the flags, ceremonial outfits, handpainted tent, illustrations, and contributions from other members that emerged from the world created between the artist and the public who played the game in the small town of Haderslev in Southern Denmark. 

This book also contains the full rules for a roleplaying game that you can play at home with between 2 and 6 players. It is a history writing and symbol drawing table top role playing game (TTRPG) where you and some friends imagine and draw out the history of your own group of forgetful utopians. You create your own symbols and stories, forming a mini history book but over time your hope fades as well as your memory. Slowly pages of the history book are ripped up, forgotten or altered by time. 

Part fictional scouting field manual, part gamebook, part history tome, part spellbook of a forgotten mundane magic.
