A festival of literature & living
Running at the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI) across the weekend of 7-9 June 2024, HOMESWEETHOME is a multidisciplinary festival circling the theme of home – a many layered, and ever present subject for Dubliners, and one that inspires at least as many questions as there are answers. Taking place across the museum’s exhibitions, historic house and gardens, and with programmes designed for all ages, the festival will explore new perspectives on the central question of ‘What is home?’ through talks, discussion, performances, music, workshops, food and more.
Throughout HOMESWEETHOME, people from many walks of life will share their experiences of home – imagining home, finding home, remembering home, writing home. The festival will explore concepts of home as diverse as family, identity, migration, shifting demographics, human rights, land access, architecture, gentrification, homelessness and housing crises. In its pursuit of a deeper understanding of the subject, HOMESWEETHOME will channel the lived experiences of many, and the unique perspectives of philosophers, sociologists, historians, scientists, social activists, urban planners, artists, and of course writers.
