How can art reveal fragmented experiences and memories of home when the trauma of displacement occurs? What does ‘home’ mean to settlers and immigrants? Exploring their pasts in different parts of Africa, two artists explore personal and collective experiences dealing with emotional complexities and questions of identity, nostalgia and politics. As curators and museums struggle to engage with the complex issues of the global art world, Patti Gaal-Holmes and Patrick Altes discuss the shifting concept of home with University of Portsmouth cultural historian Dr Marius Kwint.
In partnership with the Faculty of Creative and Cultural Industries Space Offsite programme, curated by Denise Callender.
