IDEAS OF HOME

‘Since May, thanks to funding from Arts Council England, we have been curating ‘Ideas of Home‘, an online project that enabled us to continue our programme of significant cultural engagement during lockdown.

This is a project that assesses how ideas of ‘home’ have shifted in 2020 during
the global pandemic, national lockdowns and the ‘new normal’ rules of social interaction. We have been inviting creative responses to people’s lived experience this year, asking how the threat of the pandemic and the realities of life under lockdown and beyond have affected people’s notions of what constitutes ‘home’.
We want people to experiment and be creative as a means of better making sense of their world, and are offering opportunities to share and express this creativity. Inputs can be in any form, from formal artworks across the disciplines, to photographs of objects or artefacts, to written reflections and poetry, animations and gifs, audio and video diaries.Our online gallery of contributions is here ‘
