HOMELAND A person's or a people's native land, we look to explore “homeland” as a geographical point of origin and a state of being. Works should express cultural and ethnic elements, and elucidate the view of “home” from the immigrant to the expatriate, the displaced to the indigenous. How do we find “home” when we are away from the land of our forebears? What do newly arrived peoples do to preserve their culture and heritage? How do we honor and acknowledge the indigenous inhabitants of the lands upon which we all now live? We encourage artists to explore these themes and more. Let your creativity illuminate the diverse ways we experience and define "home," and your connection with a “HOMELAND."
