HOME is an art project organized by Ka Atelier (TR) and Entefxis-Photometria Festival (GR) in the framework of TANDEM TURKEY-EU Programme. The programme aims at establishing long-term partnerships between cultural organisations from Turkey and the EU countries. It is targeted on engaging participants in an intense international collaboration process, which includes realisation of a shared interdisciplinary project, linked to their cultural expertise.

The two project managers Nazlı Deniz Oğuz (TR) and Photini Papahatzi (GR) work on the concept of visual narration focusing on the "perception of home" together with 6 visual artists and project mentor Jan Rosseel.

HOME focuses on the forced migration/population exchanges that happened between Turkey and Greece and intends to express the memory of this experience through artistic expression, footage, archive research and personal stories.

Lens based artists are invited to reflect on the idea of HOME. The idea of home is open to interpretation: home as memory; home as feeling; home as a common tradition, gesture, language, mentality.

The intension of the project is to rediscover the missing link, to connect with an 'unknown' but so known place and its people, its culture so near and yet so far, so that the outcomes will be a source of inspiration for the involved communities.
