Cultural
Production &
Experience Design

We treat the stage as a laboratory and infrastructure as an act of care.

Family Affairs Studio is a cultural production company navigating the space between spectacle and structure. Through performances, publications, touring works, and collaborative ventures, we examine how people relate to purpose, care, power, technology, and each other.

We develop original IP, support collaborating artists through the full lifecycle of production, from concept and research through experience design, staging, and touring, and operate LINT, our production house in Downtown Los Angeles.

Founded in 2021, at the end of a decade-long experiment in DIY cultural infrastructure at NAVEL, we made a deliberate choice: stay in Los Angeles, build the infrastructure, make the work, take it to the world.
