Open Call APRIA: Where do we feel at home? Redefining Oikos
- Research
What is home? Or, as it was called in Ancient Greece, what is oikos? What does this mean in times of crisis? And how do you deal with it in the arts and research? APRIA welcomes contributions that delve into the complex meaning of oikos, re-examining concepts of home and the tension between safe and harmful spaces in times of crisis. Your artistic reflections, propositions, guides, kits and research can be sent in until 7 December 2020. A selection of the submissions will eventually be published on APRIA.
What is home?
During the last couple of months of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been urged again and again to ‘stay safe and stay home’. It soon became clear that ‘home’ is a very complex concept and certainly cannot be associated with safety for everyone. What or who determines what home is, and what does it mean to be at home?
Redefining oikos
Since antiquity, the concept of oikos has always had complex and contradictory meanings. On the one hand, it denotes private property, belonging and family ties, on the other, politically and historically charged power relations that define who can belong to a space and what its borders are.
