Home In Diaspora

What happens when home moves and has to resettle somewhere else because of contemporary invocations of diaspora? In a series of meaningful displacements one might have multiple homes with different reasons for maintaining some form of attachment to each. Through a semi-structured approach, letting narratives unfold as they come up, I ask: What did you leave? What did you meet? What did you get and give? What could that be? An architectural alphabet evolves that tells stories, comes with things and moments but perhaps most important questions the habitual and the culturally specific. How can we understand what a home is if I do not ask what a home was, is for someone else or could be? And not only through the homes we idealize but through the displaced homes that actually have to meet ours. Could this alphabet be used to provoke the limited one we have today and help us towards the prospect of choice by imagining a future whereupon there could, or maybe simply should, be so many more? More to be used to rethink and deviate from a standard mark that negates a past for some and make the transition more than a continuum for others.
