Home Is Not A Place

Product Information

Which is why while sometimes it might take travelling the world to “find yourself”, you find that you’d been inside of yourself all along. Travelling in a red Mini Cooper, Pitts and Robinson’s circumnavigation encompassed the coastal, urban, rural and suburban, via the places in-between. In the exhibition and accompanying book Robinson's poetry sits alongside Pitts' images from around the country.

Wouldn’t it be glorious, if instead of thinking of home as the places that house us, we thought of ourselves as housing our homes, the carriers of our homes. There where your mind is free to wander or stay, there where your feet aren’t afraid to admit they are worn out. Use QuoteFancy Studio to create high-quality images for your desktop backgrounds, blog posts, presentations, social media, videos, posters and more. Come on a journey with Johny Pitts as he talks about a selection of photographs in the exhibition Home is Not a Place.

Home is the families we are born into, and those we create for ourselves, be they by heart or by blood. Acclaimed poet Roger Robinson and award-winning author and photographer Johny Pitts have joined forces to explore this issue in their stunning new book, Home Is Not A Place.

During their travels they uncovered hidden stories of black people living in the unlikeliest of places, from rundown seaside resorts to rural beach locations. The stories captured in the film and the book echo across centuries of the black experience, transforming and illuminating the history of Britain.Late last year, I spent sometime in the United States of America, during that time, I went to Puerto Rico for a weekend. Having a sense of what home feels like is a great guide for our souls to know when we are in alignment with paths that lead to our greatest good.
