With Home Works, Ashkal Alwan invests in forging cultural connections between established and emerging artists residing in Lebanon and overseas. As a title, the term ‘Home Works’ suggests an intertwining of public and private spheres, the outside world of work and the inside space of home. In referring to the exercises, lessons and research problems worked out by students repetitively and in solitude, ‘Home Works’ implies a process of internal excavation, digging and burrowing deeper all the while constructing and accumulating new practices.
