HOMESWEETHOME – A festival of literature and living

This event has ended

Museum of Literature Ireland, Friday 7th June - Sunday 9th June

Running at MoLI across the weekend of 7-9 June 2024, HOMESWEETHOME is a multidisciplinary festival circling the theme of home – a many-layered, and ever present subject for Dubliners, and one that inspires at least as many questions as there are answers. Taking place across the museum’s exhibitions and historic house, and with programmes designed for all ages, the festival will explore new perspectives on the central question of ‘What is home?’ through talks, discussion, performances, music, workshops, food, and more.

Throughout HOMESWEETHOME, people from many walks of life will share their experiences of home – imagining home, finding home, remembering home, writing home. The festival will explore concepts of home as diverse as family, identity, migration, shifting demographics, human rights, land access, architecture, gentrification, homelessness and housing crises. HOMESWEETHOME will channel the lived experiences of many, and the unique perspectives of people from across society, including, of course, writers.

HOMESWEETHOME is presented as part of ULYSSES European Odyssey, an epic project across 18 cities producing artistic responses to social and cultural themes identified in James Joyce’s Ulysses. Find out more at ulysseseurope.eu
