Opening Reception: May 3rd, 6-8pm
What Makes it Home by Heather Schulte
Explored will be the notion of “home” as a site for dialogue about socio-political issues. Through an immersive and interactive installation, viewers will be invited to settle in and engage with domestic objects and settings as an intersection of private and public space. We will consider questions of shelter, health, and safety and how they are inextricable from each other and economic and political contexts.
Amid growing housing crises, refugees seeking asylum, genocidal conflict, and the ongoing effects of a global pandemic, how can we expand our ideas and beliefs about “home” to radically welcome not only other people, but also fully embrace our own selves? Can we reanimate our most intimate spaces and admit these places of dialogue and conflict, illness and healing, cohabitation of private and public selves?
