The Homesickness Project was conceived with a simple proposition: homesickness, taken broadly as a longing for one’s 'true home', can initiate conversations that do not only prompt nostalgia and sentimental reflections but can also hold important clues to essential qualities in a home - qualities necessary for individuals to feel at home within their surrounding environment, whether this be domestic, vocational, social, cultural, political, geographical or spiritual.

This major curated exhibition at the Logan Art Gallery explores the scope and implications of this proposition, bringing together the six participatory public art projects developed by the Homesickness School, and run in Logan City, with work by artists from Australia, Croatia, Ireland, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
