Home Not Home Series

AnySquared’s Home Not Home Series examined the complicated dichotomies of the idea of home and explores ideas of the world we want! Home Not Home themes include belonging/not belonging, freedom/captivity, safety/danger, comfort/discomfort, inclusive/exclusive, building/destroying, and place/displacement. Home Not Home aimed to demonstrate that while the concept of home is universal, the experience is very personal.

Since 2023, AnySquared partnered with artists, venues, organizations and community to explore these themes through exhibits, public art, art-based action, live performances (ex: music, spoken word, poetry, dance, performance art, etc.) film/video screenings, zines, workshops, and discussions.

We are grateful to our collaborating organizations including: Palenque LSNA, Renegades of Funk, Humboldt Park Solidarity Network/Casa Hernandez, Pilsen Arts & Community House, Agitator Gallery, and Unity Park.

We will be completing our wheatpasting for our poster project and installation of houses in spring 2025.
