When most people think of home, they envision a structure, a shelter from the elements, a place where they run to for comfort and safety.Featuring photographs, poetry and essays, it is a visual poem reflecting on the complexity, strength and resilience of Black Britain. We are home to groundbreaking ideas and revolutions, we are home to comfort and peace — be it other people’s or our own.

The years that led up to my move away for college were centered around internal and external strife. And while you may long for it when you’re away, you long only for elements of it, you long for the way you feel at or in it.The feeling of peace, the feeling that you aren’t meant to be anywhere else, or that no matter where else you go and what else you do, you’re meant to always find yourself there. Pitts invites you to come in, take a seat and feel right at home - to experience what home means to him - whether you’re flicking through family photo albums, chatting and sharing ideas, or listening to pirate radio playlists from Pitts’ 1980s youth. Ebooks fulfilled through Glose cannot be printed, downloaded as PDF, or read in other digital readers (like Kindle or Nook). Product arrived matching the specifications I requested but also matched the photographs and item description. This exhibition is infused with the Japanese architectural ideas of the ‘personal utopia’; a haven where one seeks respite from the difficulties of the outside world.

Acclaimed poet Roger Robinson and award-winning author and photographer Johny Pitts have joined forces to explore this issue in their stunning new book, Home Is Not A Place. It’s important to be aware of how you are feeling and how your emotions shift in different environments. In the exhibition and accompanying book Robinson's poetry sits alongside Pitts' images from around the country.
