Curatorial Statement: Wherever I Lay My Head gathers new and recent work produced by the ARTWorks Fellows as they explore the question: what makes a home?

Spanning collage, film, mixed-media, painting, photography, and more, the artists engage themes of identity, memory, migration, and sanctuary, reflecting on what it means to inherit a place to belong, to leave one for another, and to build one of your own.

Together, their works chart complex emotional and physical geographies of home—not as a fixed place, but as a fluid practice of care and continually evolving site of connection and refuge.
