PROJECT:

Featuring installations, photos and embroidered works, “Hom” reflects on the condition to live in countries other than that in which we are born and on the experience of “missing”through the integration of multiple feminine point of views.
The exhibition therefore constitutes an open field of confrontation and staging of crucial questions of the present: the works are the result of a reflection-action, and tell things both about the place where the author was born, but also about the one in which she currently lives.
