'''Homeward Bound" considers the ways in which a wide variety of contemporary photographers explore, express, engage with and examine notions of "home", and how one's idea of "home" is both determined and defined by ourselves and others.  

What happens when photography – a medium that is often associated with looking outward – is turned "homeward", towards one's own country and community?  What happens when, as an outsider, we invite ourselves into, experience and investigate the "homes" of others?  What do we carry with us from our own "home" – visually, symbolically, psychologically and otherwise – when we find ourselves immersed in the world at large?  How are we invariably "bound" to our own sense of "home"?  And how are the boundaries and borders of our various "homes" and "homelands" delineated and defended – personally, politically, culturally, and otherwise?  

"Homeward Bound" offers a wide range of diverse perspectives on our perpetual search for "home', its meaning and importance within our lives, and the many ways in which we long for and bind ourselves to it.'
