EXHIBITIONS

Farah Al Qasimi on view at Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma as a part of Feels Like Home Kiasma’s Collection Exhibition.

 

12th January 2024 - 12th January, 2025

Curated by Saara Hacklin, Chief Curator of Collections, and Curators Saara Karhunen and Satu Oksanen.

 

‘Feels Like Home’ reflects on the theme of home and belonging through contemporary art. Belonging is linked to identity – to who we are and where we come from. The featured artworks show that home can be a physical place, a community, or a state of mind. Home can also be found in a language or culture.

 

The exhibition shares experiences of how it feels when home is lost or far away, whether by choice or force of circumstance. War and exile can sever ties with loved ones and beloved places. Loss and longing can be passed down through generations. As the artworks show, individual experiences are intertwined with social change and broader historical events.
