How do we define ‘home’? Is it a building? A feeling? A smell? A particular place? Home can be both physical and psychological, incorporating complex identities of self, family, friends and community. We all carry ideals of home that are informed by our personal experiences and our perspectives shift as we relocate to another space / place.
Contemporary art and welfare cross-pollinate to form critical, imaginative and collaborative inquiries into the ideologies of ‘home’ and thereby homelessness. The public installation draws attention to the ways individuals occupy and inhabit public and private spaces, permitting participants and the public to socially engage with contemporary art and the community at large.
