Tell Me Where Home Is
Infos
How do people in the 21st century define home? Has home as a geographical location become obsolete? How do people continually form new, inclusive, and collective homes?
The controversial concept of home embodies a longing and a search that characterizes our digitized and globalized societies. The spectrum of reasons for voluntary and involuntary migration has long since become blurred, and constant change and ongoing processes of forming a sense of home have become the basis of society. The central question is whether and how mobile and flexible people can find a home in these turbulent social structures. Houses, cities, landscapes and countries, places of childhood, family and friends, religion, language, music and food, or digital platforms and social networks – homes can take many different forms. With an eye to the future, Tell Me Where Home Is examines these developments in the global mirror of 21st-century art, in which numerous artists ask urgent questions about home, migration and belonging.
