Making Home
Home can be a joyful space where we hold celebrations and express ourselves, somewhere we associate with happy memories of food, family and comfort. But it can also be an unhappy or uncertain place, or somewhere we have had to leave behind. Home may not be a place at all, but a feeling that goes beyond any physical location.
Running 22 October - 30 November, Making home, was a free drop-in exhibition in the Vaults at The Exchange. The aim is to collect people’s thoughts about home, and is ask what does home mean to you? Write an answer, make a recording and vote using a sticker and see your answers come alive in a new exhibition, opening February 2023.
