What is Home?
A multi-media exhibition (songs, spoken word, digital art) has been created to explore this question. The bespoke artistic content will include songs, spoken word, and digital art, taking the audience through 5themes relating to land ownership, connection, displacement, precarity and security.
Research material from a previous exhibition, What Is Home? will further inform the experience. This includes the impact of domestic abuse on childrens ideas and experience of home and childrens more general views about home. There are images and opinions of what home means to individuals, and focus group discussions about land, housing, cultural norms and conventional wisdom.
We need art to help us break free from the restrictive frameworks under which we analyse issues and find solutions. How do we find connection between reclaiming our ancestral lands, a housing emergency, and an increasingly precarious reality. Experience the art, feel the music, and engage in a conversation that blows open what we think we know about home, people and place.
