Ecography—Home and House in the Time of Coronavirus

We would wish to take an in depth check out this unprecedented domesticity. We are announcing a involve submission of your new reflections on home, with which we plan a web exhibition and forum.

Home features a variegated meaning even within a homogeneous culture, and isn’t a thing by itself. If “oikos” is homestead or house, from which we’ve ecology and economy, “ecography” may be a measure of that home. On the Parthenon, a striking sculptural pair of divinities—Hermes-Hestia—describes a fundamental human oscillation between motion (Hermes) and dwelling (Hestia). Hestia is said to Vastu from which we’ve “basati.” Vastu in Vedic culture also means a seat, a palanquin and a bridge.

While we are within the same home coordinate before the coronavirus, we’ve now began to see home differently; we now notice minute details of daily chores, the forgotten corner of an area , a wet stain on the veranda, a light-weight through the screen , textures on the steps. What does one notice in your homespace? We invite you to share what you’re experiencing being at-home within the previous couple of months. within the perimeter by which you think about your home, does one now see the homeground in new lights?

The invitation to submit is hospitable everyone. Submit “something” that captures your new awareness of home — 1 drawing (in any size or medium), photograph/s (no quite 3), a video clip (no longer than 1 min), and/or a couple of paragraphs (no quite 500 words). Following the submissions, we’ll curate a web exhibition, and supported the exhibition organise a public online forum with a gaggle of internationally renowned personalities.
