About the Project
This Is Not My Home is a 15–20 minute video installation that examines the longing for homeland experienced within diasporic Armenian identity—seen through the eyes of the artist’s aunt. Juxtaposing the aunt’s first encounter with Armenia against footage from the artist’s own partial upbringing in Syria, the piece offers a layered exploration of belonging, displacement, and inherited memory. Through immersive projections and intimate audiovisual material, the work invites viewers, particularly those unfamiliar with diasporic separation, to witness what it means to yearn for a home that exists more in memory and myth than in lived experience. This Is Not My Home becomes both a portrait of one woman’s reconnection and a broader reflection on the emotional landscapes of exile, nostalgia, and identity.
