Home was a massive effort that came together as a result of the collaboration between Tianze Sun and Fed. A post-pandemic catch-up turned into the vision of dream. The development of a friendship. This is what House Conspiracy does.

Tianze and Fed both have stories of migration in their hearts. Tianze is the daughter of Chinese parents, and Fed a restless globe-trotter. The pandemic prompted the question “Where is home?” and the expected answer “home is where the heart is!” followed by an awkward silence and a rebuttal “But where is the heart?” And there we had the title of the exhibition held at House Conspiracy on the 5th and 6th of December and which invited artists to explore how we leave, move, decorate, undo, re-do, design, dream, smash, and make a home. The exhibition gave a colourful picture of the experiences of rooting, uprooting, and rerooting, and the hopes and the traumas that come with them.

The exhibition featured 28 artists from Meanjin, Melbourne, Sydney, and Central Queensland.
