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.
