I’m thrilled to share that my photobook "Homeland" will officially launch at Centrala Space on November 9th, from 2-5 pm!
This event marks the culmination of an 18-month journey as an artist-in-residence at Centrala as part of the "Post-Socialist Britain?" research project, a collaboration between University of Birmingham and Nottingham Trent University, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
During my residency, I had the pleasure of meeting, mentoring, and collaborating with talented photographers, whom I invited to contribute their unique perspectives on the concept of home. Featuring the remarkable works of Yuxi Hou, Sylwia Ciszewska Peciak, Ismail Khokon, and Marcin Forys, "Homeland" explores themes of migration, belonging, identity, and memory within our communities. Each photographer brought their own vision and creativity to the project, making this photobook and exhibition catalogue a rich and diverse exploration of what "home" means.
Join us for the book launch event at Centrala. The photobooks will be available for purchase at Centrala bookshop. Don’t miss it!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to and supported this project.
