Home, Migration, Belonging
A NEW EXHIBITION FROM GOOD CHANCE ARTISTS
AT THE MUSEUM OF THE HOME
12 April - 2 May 2022
Three artists with histories and heritages of migration - Andrea Ling, Basel Zaraa and Hamed Moradi - explore through their provocative installations what it means to leave a home and what it means to build a new one.
All three pieces are striking interrogations of vital questions of our time - how can we live side by side in this new world? How do we live in harmony with the natural world? When you have to leave your home, what does it mean to make a new one in this country?
PACHA installation:
Designed to rekindle our bond with nature, PACHA is an interactive-touch-sound installation of plants and soil that tells stories of reimagined futures, ecological symbiosis and ancestral knowledge. This decolonial response to the climate crisis celebrates the voices of Black, Indigenous, Multi-racial People of Colour (BIMPoC) and offers an alternative way forward. This installation has been co-made with BIMPoC Hackney residents through a series of explorative workshops at the Museum of the Home. Workshops included nature walks, guest speakers, creative writing, discussions and future storytelling.
The installation is wheelchair accessible and has captioning and audio description available. We advise those with a pacemaker not to use the installation. For any questions regarding access please email andrea@pachapeople.com.
