Produced in collaboration with Andrea Fatona and the Centre for the Study of Black Canadian Diaspora.
Responding to the growing turmoil of politics, capitalism, and environmental disasters worldwide, this issue of PUBLIC explores the various physical, metaphorical, and conceptual ways that home is created, experienced, negotiated, and transformed. In this unprecedented moment of upheaval, we witness massive disruption: Wildfires ravage towns and forests, flash floods destroy homes, and the concept of “home” is constantly challenged. Ideas like citizenship, residency, and migration are being redefined, while people are detained and the State neglects racialized refugees. As a result, the notion of “home” takes on a new significance, where sensation, memory, and emotion outweigh the built environment in creating and maintaining a place of refuge, safety, and comfort.
