The home is often understood as the physical manifestation of one’s identity, a space shaped by the longing for reprieve from societal expectations. Historically defined by rigid heteronormative ideals of domestic life, the reproduction of these models concretizes a universal, and often restrictive, understanding of what a home should be. TO·BE·LONGING: Portraits of Queer Living seeks to shift this dominant social narrative, focusing on the nuanced existence of queer domesticity, belonging and resilience in spaces for self-determination.
