A/way Home
In view of the recent debates, misunderstandings, proposed and approved legislation regarding home foreclosures, homelessness, displacement, and immigration reform, the notion of ‘home’ as a physical and psychic space of both comfort/discomfort and connection/disconnection, and possibly reconnection, can be problematic and murky.
Inspired by the artwork of Joan Belman, Clarissa Slight and Whitfield Lovell, as well as the literature of Toni Morrison, A/way Home examines the ideas and realities of “Home” including and beyond the concept of the dwelling itself. The artists will contextualize and visualize these feelings of alienation, settlement, dislocation as well as relocation in their art practice. Can we ever truly go home again to the familiar territory of kin, friends, alma maters, religious and cultural institutions we have known?
