Chapter 7: Where is Home?
Anawhata Beach, just outside of my hometown Auckland, NZ (2020)
“Over my life, I’ve lived on four continents, and been on a constant search for “home”. Where is home? WHAT IS HOME? These are questions I continue to address, while knowing that both NZ and Japan are places that I am drawn to through ancestry and belonging. Both London and LA are cities that I’ve now spent large chapters of my life in, and have their own feelings of ‘home’ to me. Where this journey leads next, I’ll just have to wait and see.

About the Festival:
La Ceiba Festival is named after the sacred tree revered by the Indigenous peoples of the Americas and West African cultures for its spiritual and healing powers. It is a space of safety, unity and reconnection, even in the absence of physical contact with the ancestors and our loved ones during the Covid-19 global pandemic.
