"Home in Diaspora - through voices" by Paulina Aydin 
  

What happens when home moves and has to resettle somewhere else because of contemporary invocations of diaspora? Letting narratives unfold as they come, beginning with a conversation with my father who moved from an Assyrian village in Turkey to a Public Housing Programme in Sweden, from domestic limestone houses built by himself to prefabricated high-rise concrete buildings already standing there for him. In a series of meaningful displacements, one might have multiple homes with different reason for maintaining some form of attachment to each. Two homes meet and an architectural alphabet evolves, that provokes the limited one we have today, questions the habitual and helps us towards the prospect of choice by imagining a future whereupon there could, or maybe simply should, be so many more. To rethink and deviate from a standard mark that negates a past for some and make the transition more than a continuum for others.
