Home Affairs (2011–2024) is an art collective founded by Arzu Ozkal and Nanette Yannuzzi, with multiple other collaborators contributing over the years. The collective is currently on hiatus, while its members focus deeply on envisioning future projects. Home Affairs employs a multidisciplinary approach to art making that addresses issues of identity, community, and territory. The collective is especially invested in art practices that engage resistance and healing in response to ongoing global challenges, with particular concern for the welfare of women and children.
This series intends to challenge mainstream representations of motherhood in the 21st century. Through a series of photo silkscreen prints, ‘Home Affairs’ traverses a wide terrain of experiences and cultures to capture the kind of challenges mothers face as cultural producers.
Each woman in this series worked with Home Affairs to create an image that best represents their personal challenge in this regard.
