Group Exhibition in London. Welcome to our heartfelt exhibition, where the warmth of home meets the complexities of the human experience. As you step into this space, we invite you to journey with us through the intimate corners of what it means to call a place "home." We explore the tender bonds of belonging, intertwined with the challenges of migration, racism, sexism, and domestic violence. This opportunity is only for UK-based artists who are originally from Afghanistan, Egypt, Ethiopia, Libya, Myanmar, Palestine, Somalia, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen.

In our exhibition, we invite artists to express the meaning of home. The inspirational themes to explore are “Migration and Belonging”, and “Gender Discrimination and the Quest for Equality”.

This exhibition is an invitation — to empathy, to dialogue, and to the collective dream of a world where every soul finds sanctuary in the embrace of belonging. We extend our deepest gratitude to the artists who've poured their hearts into this opportunity.

This project is under the Art Council Application, the venue and exact dates will be announced later. The approximate season for the exhibition would be around next Dec 2024 and March 2025.

The artists will get paid for their participation.
