From Horn to Home:

Reflections on the Meaning of "Home"

When people are displaced, the idea of ‘home’ becomes something internalized. No longer just a house or a country, Home becomes something stronger and stranger than an ordinary memory. Despite very often being made up of those common, everyday moments. Home is a collection of smells, prayers, sounds, feelings and flavours. This internalized Home lives within us, and many of us have had no choice but to bring our “home” with us through movement and migration. And when it’s time to return to that Home, we find it altered by time, by war, by survival.

Now, the Home we held so close to our hearts doesn’t exist anymore and we’re left feeling like a visitor in our own home.

With a focus on East Africa, in the exhibition “From Home to Horn” artists Manar Abbre, Tutu Elradi, Remas Elradi & Saliema Maki (DDB), Khadija Issa, Rahma Muktar and Stephen Waithaka Ng’ang’a express their internalized “home” through the mediums of poetry, language, photography and video work. As a viewer, you are invited to reflect on and connect with the Home within you, one that may have been forgotten.”
