We had an immersive evening with a set of film screenings at Shared Ecologies on Friday, 27th of March titled ‘In Search of Home.’ The screening followed with discussion reflecting on the forms of migration and how in current times migration and cross migration produces nostalgia and belongingness. How an insider forms the idea of an outsider through caste, culture and crisis. What are the influences on imagination, which shapes the thinking body? Where does home lie? How do peripheries form temporality and alienation? 

A big thanks to the filmmakers for joining both online and offline for the discussion, along with the audience and Mahesh.
