placemaking. goin' home

goin’ home is a visual series composed by young participants that traces the material, relational, and sensory dimensions of returning- with place, not just to it. Rather than narrating a story of homecoming, these images enact it- with movement, light, road, and repetition. Composed with a feminist materialist ethic of co-composition, the series resists extractive reading and instead invites the viewer into a slow, situated encounter with place as force, not backdrop. The work refuses interpretation as dominance and instead inhabits an ethics of proximity, where image-making becomes a method of listening, dwelling, and travelling-with. There are no captions, no voiceover- only presence, gesture, and trace. This is research as placemaking, where going home is neither a return nor a destination, but a relational act of staying-with complexity.
