PROJECT INTENT
What is the purpose of the project?
To create a sort of tapestry or collection of stories from a variety of voices on what feeling at ‘home’ really means.
To find comfort in the fact that we’re not alone in those instances when we feel far from home—when we feel lost and we’re seeking a sense of comfort or familiarity.
To create connections across borders and cultures.
To understand how we might make our cities and towns feel more home-y.
PROJECT OUTCOME
What will be done with people's submissions?
I don't know yet. It could be an Instagram page, a book, a podcast, or anything in between.
Whatever form it takes, it will be a collection of stories from across the globe, describing where they feel most at home and unpacking the meaning of home.
While I may not take every submission I receive, I promise that any stories I do share will be presented as-is. I won't interpret them or modify them in any way. I will also communicate with you and receive consent before sharing your submission anywhere or doing anything with it.
MY STORY
Where do you feel most at home in the place you're currently living in?
I'm currently living in Brussels, Belgium.
Here, I feel most at home inside a contemporary theatre next to the canal. It's one of the first places I felt embraced, without judgment, in a city that was totally unfamiliar.
There, I can be totally anonymous in a vast audience. I escape. It feels familiar—it's the same sensations I feel in the audience of my favourite theatres in my hometown.
