Title and Description

The Art of Belonging

Home is both a place and a feeling. It can be the land where you were born, the country you left, the rooms where you slept as a child, or the place you long to return to.

It can be a family house, a temporary shelter, an imagined refuge, a memory, a loss, a dream, a longing, a belonging.

Home can be:

  • A country
  • A kitchen
  • A neighborhood
  • A person
  • A landscape
  • A city block
  • Or the feeling of love, safety, distance, exile, renewal, or return 

We invite photographers worldwide to interpret The Art of Belonging in any photographic style—documentary, fine art, portraiture, conceptual, abstract, architectural, environmental, or experimental.
Every approach is welcome. Every perspective is valued.
