The exhibition emerges as a visceral response to the incomprehensible and often morally disjointed realities of displacement, oppression, and human suffering — specifically, at this moment, in the context of Gaza. As the ongoing crisis forces millions to flee their homes and confront systemic violence, the exhibition seeks to explore the fractured notions of home, identity, and belonging. The very term unhoming conjures up a poignant sense of uprootedness, a loss that goes beyond mere physical shelter and penetrates the core of one’s socio-psychological and cultural existence.
The exploration of the constructs of "home" is crucial in challenging us to rethink what it means to belong and how society places differential values on life. Through varied artistic media the exhibition aims to evoke both empathy and critical reflection, drawing attention to the human experience of displacement and the stark inequities that arise when people are stripped of their homes, their security and their dignity, simply as a condition of their identity.
