Press Release:
Too Close to Home is a two-day special event of screenings and newly commissioned performances. Bringing together work by artists practicing in a wide range of contexts, the event investigates the notion of the stranger and examines the consequences of our individual and collective relationship to strangeness and how it exists alongside, conflicts with, or even threatens our own sense of home.
