Home Is
Since 2020 I have been, through the Artist Territory Exchange residency and in collaboration with Jessica Longmore, exploring the notion of Home and Identity, how space can define or free us, whether it's from culture, energy or the planetary influences. I have been using my own experience of searching for a Home and moving countries as the inspiration, and have been influenced by our unexpected confinement in this Space.
The Arts Territory Exchange (aTE) is a global network of artists and art practices which respond to the geography of their territory of production. Beginning with a simple correspondence programme in which artists are paired up to exchange works and ideas, aTE exists to both germinate otherwise impossible dialogue between remote and disconnected practices and to bring to an audience a global artwork in the form of an accumulating library of artefacts and debate.
Responding to recent geopolitical events and a new era of populist, political narratives intent on refocussing democratic desires on the national and parochial, aTE is interested in supporting and promoting the opportunities there are in international relations for artists and their audiences.
