Reserving the Gallery

About the Exhibition

Homebound is a contemporary art exhibition featuring California artists. The exhibition explores complex relations to “home,” actually or metaphorically defined. At the face of it, “home” is straightforward. It’s where we live and where we come from. Adding “bound” to the term challenges a straightforward read, suggesting both the act of heading home as well as the sometimes challenging relationships we might have with home, family and identity. These relationships can be fraught. Do we feel “at home” when we are home? What is home for diasporic communities? Is there room to expand definitions of home in response to the pressures that emerge from growing up outside home countries? What are indigenous conceptions of home and belonging? Is home necessarily one place, or can we feel at home anywhere?
