When you return home...

When you return home... is a Berlin-focused research project about notions of home, family, displacement and belonging in the global, networked age. Conducting interviews with current inhabitants (both long-term and temporary) of Berlin from across the breadth of socio-economic stratum, the project intends to contribute to existing dialogues about our "place" in contemporary society.

This project will be developed during an artist residency with Culturia, Berlin, April - July 2008. logo: Culturia
