WHERE: Customs House
COST: Free – Your ticket gives you access to all SW22 Chasing Home events – you are welcome to attend all sessions or to drop-in for as many or few as your schedule allows.
We all somehow lack a sense of home. Whether it is our inner home or a physical home. Home is “the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned”.
Are we chasing a home within ourselves or a home that has no borders? Chasing Home invites artists from immigrant and refugee backgrounds to discuss and highlight what makes a home. The impact it has on our mental health and the role art plays when finding home.
Panel, performance and conversation – stay for the whole session or feel welcome to drop-in.
Temporary – Panel
11am-12pm
The story of asylum seekers is a story rooted in pain, hope and resilience. Asylum seekers face an unknown future of frustration and despair as they seek safety in this beautiful land.
Temporary is a podcast that highlights the life of asylum seekers living in limbo.
We revisit the aftermath of the podcast chatting with producers and those who are still chasing home.
