EXHIBITION HOME | a place we call HOME considers the many ways we inhabit, remember, and imagine place. For some, home is a refuge, a source of comfort, identity, and belonging. For others, it may be a place of change, tension, or displacement. The exhibition explores how personal histories, cultural inheritance, migration, and the environment shape our understanding of home, and how these meanings overlap, diverge, and evolve within our community.
