Description

Housing is not only about bricks and mortar; the home is where our hopes and dreams play out. Housing is at the heart of much of our lives. It is where we rest, eat, relax. Having a home is essential for our long-term survival, as well as our day-to-day wellbeing. Without a stable place to call home, people tend to experience mental and physical health issues, and often premature death. Housing also has a central role in ideologies about what it means to live a good and dignified life. Feeling at Home grapples with the emotional questions that surround housing, from domestic labour, privacy, ownership and health. Alva Gotby proposes a new approach for the housing movement, which is ultimately about more than just creating more publicly owned housing - it is about revolutionising our everyday lives and labours.
