“Home is a notion that only the uprooted comprehend.” — Wallace Stegner

What is home? Is it a place, a feeling, an identity? Is it safety or belonging? Does it come with us when we move or do we leave it behind? When you are compelled to leave your home for reasons you can’t control, or you are raised far from the only home your family has ever known, what becomes of home then?

Join us for Creative Tensions: Home to explore the opposing forces that shape our notions of where we belong and why.

Creative Tensions is a collective conversation expressed in movement, wherein participants reveal where they stand on an issue through where they stand in the room. Guided by a moderator and provoked by speakers who approach the topic from different perspectives, Creative Tensions is an eye-opening, reflective, and inspiring experience. Joining us as protagonists for this special edition of Creative Tensions are acclaimed artist and filmmaker Shirin Neshat and Daniel Wordsworth of the American Refugee Committee.
