Home holds manifold meanings for East and Southeast Asian communities. It is the love and warmth of family, and also the demands of duty, devotion and filial piety that accompany it. For much of the ESEA diaspora, and the exodus of queer Asian folk who have crossed the pond to experience the world beyond the closet, it is longing to be where we are not, faced with the realisation that we are never quite at home, wherever we go. These are stories of home, of its joys and beauty, its ills and struggle.

This event mixes film screenings, a live performance, and conversation. Audience will be invited to interact with the performers during the event.
