Synopsis

Assembling more than a hundred works of twenty-first-century art, this exhibition reflects on a highly topical question: what does home mean? 

The many meanings of home lie at the center of this book. How do people find and form a sense of home in our fast-paced, ever changing societies? The urgency of this question can be traced through the art of the twenty-first century, in which themes of home, migration, and belonging are addressed in both poetic and direct ways. Home has long ceased to refer only to a physical place. Through the lens of the visual arts, this publication examines the many aspects of home in our globalized and digitized world, approaching the question in an analytical, interdisciplinary, and future-oriented way. How can we create spaces of inclusivity in multicultural societies? What role can museums play? A highly topical subject and, in times of massive political upheaval, more urgent than ever
