A Home Making 家回家 Group Exhibition Opening Reception
What is home家?
Is it 故乡, a place of origin;
老家, a site of legacy;
or 住址, a location that can be named, documented, and verified?
家 resists singular definition. For those shaped by migration, displacement, and chosen kinship, home is not fixed in geography but assembled through memory, sensation, language, and care. It is carried in the body, stretched across time zones, and continuously remade.
This exhibition approaches 家 not as a destination, but as a process—one marked by movement, rupture, and longing. To 回家 is not merely to return a place, but to transgress the colonial absence of intimacy, safety, or spiritual entanglement. Home, a returning, a remaking, a bodily condition: a lived experience that surfaces in breath, conversation, and gathering. As Ocean Vuong suggests, home is less about arrival than about where tenderness is permitted to survive.
Bringing together three artists, 郑晴 Angie Zheng , Isabel 玥 Li, Laura 嘟嘟 whose practices engage diaspora, queerness, and relational forms of belonging, 家回家 examines how home is constructed through fragments: inherited rituals, unstable languages, temporary dwellings, and affective bonds that exceed bloodlines. The works in this exhibition do not attempt to recover a home; instead, they rebuild, remake, and reimagine in its fluidity and instability—holding fleeting space for grief, transformation, and hope.
