THEME: Where and what do we consider as home? It could be anywhere as we are people on the move–out of choice or dilemma–from our original homes, to new places, to new homes. Some of us are curious to know what is on the other side of the moon. Some of us don’t know to which people and places we belong and want to discover ourselves in our roots. We migrate for better opportunities and for safety, seeking to escape war, poverty, racism, sexism, religious persecution. Or we have been forcibly removed whether from historical slavery or contemporary displacement. The distance from home can be short or far, but we are often Home and Away.
