Chasing Home invites artists from immigrant and refugee backgrounds to discuss and highlight what makes a home.

Customs House

We all somehow lack a sense of home. Whether it is our inner home or a physical home. Home is “the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned”. Are we chasing a home within ourselves or a home that has no borders? Chasing Home invites artists from immigrant and refugee backgrounds to discuss and highlight what makes a home. The impact it has on our mental health and the role art plays when finding home. Performance, showcase and conversation - stay for the whole session or feel welcome to drop-in.
