Geannuleerd HOME Art Project - Where do you feel at home?

Visual artist Stephanie Rhode is going to talk about her current HOME art project, the meaning of home and her other art projects like Labyrinth (2017)

Currently 1.8 million inhabitants of non-Dutch origin live in the Netherlands. Together they represent two hundred nationalities, of which 139 nationalities live in Amstelveen alone. 'HOME Art Project' is an art project in which visual artist Stephanie Rhode tries to make a connection between inhabitants from different nationalities and backgrounds through a universal theme such as HOME.

The current developments put an extra emphasis on the importance of being and feeling at home. For this art project, Rhode photographs people holding a white house of wool and asks participants where they feel at home and why. This results in the so-called 'soul photos', in which the participant is depicted from the back, aiding in the visualization of participants thoughts and feelings on the subject of home.

In addition to a (digital) catalogue in which all photos and anonymous statements of participants are bundled, the art project will be concluded with an overview exhibition (spring 2022) in the open air in Amstelveen. The plan is that exhibition will travel further afterwards, maybe even to all 139 countries, to show the connection between Amstelveen and the Netherlands and the rest of the world.

This Art Project participates in the European Capitals of Diversity and Inclusion awards.
