Home Not Home Exhibition at Agitator Gallery

Anysquared’s HOME NOT HOME Exhibit Opening is Saturday June 24 from 6pm–10pm, at Agitator Gallery, 3851 W Fullerton, Chicago. AnySquared’s HOME NOT HOME Exhibition investigates various themes, including: belonging/not belonging, freedom/captivity, safety/danger, comfort/discomfort, inclusive/exclusive, building/destroying, and place/displacement. HOME NOT HOME is an examination of the complicated dichotomies of the idea of home and aims to demonstrate that while the concept of home is universal, the experience is very personal. Thank you to Agitator Artist Collective for making space and collaborating for this first installment of the series. This exhibition is the launch of AnySquared’s HOME NOT HOME SERIES, which will run through 2024 at various venues in Chicago. See Exhibiting Artists and Full Schedule Below.  ______

Only two days of work and then it’s weekend. I have had a lot of mixed feelings. It’s fun to see baby EJ again but on the other hand I really didn’t want to go back to work. After my travels, I wish I could have gone home, to Belgium. I wanted to see my family and friends, tell them all about my amazing two weeks and show them the pictures. So going back/ home to Dallas felt weird. It made me a little bit sad and homesick.

Luckily I can cheer myself up by counting down to the end of my stay here. Only 2,5 months to go! That’s not that bad, I think.
