A note from the curator:
Unhome has been a profound inspiration and reflection of both my current way of life and the path life has taken me on. What a pleasure it has been to connect with and hear from artists across multiple continents and cultures, each bringing their own unique perspectives, experiences, and creative voices to this journey.
—Lauryn Kai
Unhome is a zine about displacement, belonging, and the spaces we carry within us. Through words, images, and personal reflections, it explores what it means to feel at home, out of place, and somewhere in between.
