Fireside Talk: Adrienne Roberts
May 16
Please join SWFN and local writer Adrienne Roberts for a fireside chat on, “ Home is something I carry with me”
At the center of the Bay Area's current climate of foreclosures, rapid development and threats of rent control repeals, is the elusive and contested notion of home. A term used to define the physical structure of one's residence, it also signifies community and an attachment to place. In the culture of globalization, the notion of home is stretched beyond the local to take account of identities formed through diasporic and migrant movement; home being both near and far. Within this context, how does one relate to place? How is home defined personally, socially and culturally? How does one know when and where they belong?
