What does ‘home’ mean to us? What emotional connection do we have to the word and the concept? Is a ‘citizen of the world’ a citizen of everywhere, anywhere or, actually, of nowhere?
How does our relationship with home change when our home moves, or when we move away from home? Can we take home with us? Can a homeless person feel more ‘at home’ in a sleeping bag in a supermarket car park than a rich man sleeping in a mansion?
Come along and take part in this free-flowing conversation which will surely resonate with your own experiences. Facilitated by Dr Mustafa Alachkar.
This event is part of Celebrating Syria 2018: a Festival of Arts and Culture. For the full programme, please visit www.celebratingsyria.org
