“My research on migrants’ transnational practices of bringing, sending and receiving objects, is based on their reasons for migration rather than their countries of origin. research on materiality and migration This has enabled me to delineate patterns of practices across ethnic affiliations and national origins and to further emphasize contacts and commonalities not only between people of various ethnic affiliations but also between people with and without a migrant background. I therefore find the MaHoMe project’s goal of highlighting migrants' fluid and multifaceted experience and creation of home to be central to the effort of de-essentializing people categorised as migrants and stopping othering those categorised as refugees.”

“The MAHOME project has been fascinating in its interdisciplinarity and methodological innovation, pushing the boundaries between art, policy, and research in novel and thought provoking ways through aesthetic methodologies. As an ethnographer with prior experience as a policymaker in the ‘integration’ field, the cultural analysis of policy was the component of the project that initially sparked my interest. It struck me as uniquely creative and ambitious, particularly alongside the experiments in visual ethnography and curatorial methods."
