In Conversation: The meaning of home
Posted on 01. May, 2013 by admin in Architecture, Art Design and Media, Creative and Cultural Industries, Creative Arts Film and Media, Creative Technologies, University Events
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.
