“Home” is a multimedia installation exploring the relationship between migrant identities, architecture, and colonial aesthetics. Over 60 images and 6 small monitors are attached to the wall. These images were either captured by Sara Blokland or sourced from the municipal archive of Amsterdam and the private photo albums of three young Amsterdam-born women with migrant backgrounds related to the Dutch colonies. The photographs depict their interiors are combined with archival photographic material showing stages of the development of the Bijlmermeer, a district of Amsterdam built in the 1960s
