16 Oct Everyday Homing: Resilience in Displacement
In this episode, we explore “Making Home(s) in Displacement,” an insightful collection edited by Luce Beeckmans, Alessandra Gola, Ashika Singh, and Hilde Heynen. This compelling volume challenges traditional notions of home by examining how migrants and refugees create and sustain their sense of belonging amidst displacement. Through diverse lenses—spanning urban planning, architecture, anthropology, and gender studies—the book intricately navigates four key spatial sites: camp, shelter, city, and house. Each perspective highlights the everyday practices of homemaking as they unfold within various geopolitical contexts. By integrating the experiences of those who have been displaced, the authors enrich our understanding of architectural histories and redefine the concept of home, urging us to embrace a more inclusive and pluralistic view. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on how spatial practices shape the meaning of home for those navigating loss and resilience.
