The Unhomely – In Conversation
How is the idea of “home” unsettled through migration, climate crisis, inherited memory and cultural displacement?
Join Dr Errol Francis, Director of Culture&, in conversation with artists Güler Ates, Leyla Huysal and Yusuf Huysal to explore their new sound installation In Perpetuum installed amidst the Museum’s period rooms.
In Perpetuum is a four‑channel, site-responsive sound installation with no beginning or end. Layers of choral music dissolve in and out of harmony to create an ambiguously contemplative space where estrangement, memory and presence can be felt collectively, amidst the Museum's period rooms.
The event will begin with a collective listening of the work, followed by a discussion exploring how this new commission engages with The Unhomely - a concept from Sigmund Freud’s 1919 essay das Unheimlich. Often translated as “the unhomely” or “the uncanny”, the idea describes the unsettling feeling of being alien or out of place within a familiar setting.
