Artist’s Message

Where is your nostalgic ‘Hometown’?

We are creating a workshop that will take you back to your nostalgic land through sights, sounds, and memories. Tell us your story.

We are always strangers. We are always leaving the place where we live – It could be where we live now, or it could be someone’s village that we left. (I hope you have another, unexpected home.)

Let me ask you this: If you didn’t have Google Maps, what clues would you use to find your home? A home is a place you’ve always dreamed of, a heart you’ve loved, a time you’ve missed. Even if it’s gone now, the home you want to find is in your mind. So what do you rely on most to find your way home? No maps, of course – you rely on the weather, the smell of the air, and the scenes in your memory.
