HOME Single Tracks

Moving from one homeland to another place confuses the sense of belonging, where the narratives are constantly floating between here and there, before and after, old and new. The homeland is the place that created you and where you learned to use your senses of taste, breath, sight and hearing. It’s hard to settle in a new place and the ordinary and sensorial memories are the ones you miss the most: the taste and smell of your grandmother’s bread, the scent of grass mowed in the morning or the sounds from a radio station in your native language. With time, those memories can be obscured by the experiences of the new place, but the roots and traditions often reemerge from encounters with other internationals and migrants.
