Home [away from] Home is an experimental art installation featuring artists in the Ethiopian and Eritrean communities of the Bay Area, culminating in a weekend-long festival of visual arts, music, dance, poetry, and food around the Eritrean and Ethiopian New Year (Sep 11, 2014).
The brain child of Ethiopian American singer Meklit Hadero, Eritrean American filmmaker Sephora Woldu, and Ethiopian American musician Ellias Fullmore, Home [away from] Home explores the often transitive and evolving nature of “home” as experienced by Ethiopian and Eritrean communities in the Bay Area. The mission of the project is to serve as a metaphor for African immigrants in the diaspora trying to build a home in America while maintaining and sharing their cultural identity in the U.S.
