Homes are not merely physical spaces, they are repositories of emotions, comfort, security and a deep sense of belonging. The exhibition offers a range of perspectives on how home is imagined, represented, and contested through the mediums of handmade craft.

These crafts explore memory, migration, and cultural dislocation signifying different identities and forms of belonging attached to the idea of home, coming alive through materials like textile, ceramics, glass, metal, wood and leather as well as performance. With personal artifacts, photographs, or hybrid interiors, homes are visually reconstructed as a sensorial archive of memory dealing with displacement, fragmentation, or alienation in contrast with the popular visual imagery that depicts home as stable, idyllic or bursting with tradition.

Craft has historically been marginalized as has any artistic practice tied to function, repetition, or domestic space and disconnected from notions of authorship, aesthetic innovation, or conceptual depth. The exhibition aims to revive the notion of craft as a practice rooted in belonging, connection, and community — elements that build both home and heart.
