When Home Wont Let You Stay is an exhibition in which a number of contemporary artists participate to reflect their thoughts and artifacts related to the migration, immigrants and their problems. The title is taken from a poem of Warsan who is a Somali-British poet. The exhibition was planned by ICA that commenced from Oct 23 up to Jan 26 including artists from different regions of the world including Africa, Americas, Asia and Europe (Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, 2019). The artists explored the themes of the exhibition in a quite different and unexpected way. Some of the messages from 20 artists are discussed below. A British Palestinian, Mona Hatoum depicted the sense of dislocation with a unique theme by two simple suitcases of leather tied up with human hairs. The luggage suggests travel and movement and the hairs depict the remnants of life encapsulated within these suitcases. Another artist from a Mexican background, Camilo Ontiveros who lives in Los Angeles now expressed his idea of freedom and depicted the struggles of immigrants by making a sculpture out of domestically used materials. He managed to bundle together a bed, a desk chair, A TV, some books, clothing and a tennis racket to show the conditions of immigrants and said that he sees a reflection of himself in this theme.

Another artist from a Korean background, Do Hu Suh expressed his theme regarding immigrants and the challenging aspects of migration by considering memory and physical space (Reynolds, 2019). He presented his work in the form of fabric sculptures that are similar to replicas of room in a one-to-one fashion. He called that sculpture or piece of the art home and used pale, transparent fabric in green, yellow and pink which were beautiful, ephemeral and ghostly.

Many artists expressed their skills and artifacts to show and highlight the problems and issues that immigrants are facing throughout the world. Out of all these, I consider the idea of Do Hu Suh very moving and appealing where he made a house using specific materials as a theme. Because a house or a place to live is one of the fundamental requirements of human beings especially for immigrants, who are exiled from their houses for different reasons.
