I Will Never Find Home

2023-Ongoing I was lying down with my whole family on the floor of our living room while we heard the sounds of shelling at the military base close to our neighbourhood. My sisters and brothers were screaming. After the sound went down, we started laughing about how silly we looked. I do not know how everyone else felt behind these laughs, but I saw a look of concern beside my father’s smile, as if we were not going to stay in Khartoum anymore. This ongoing documentation traces my personal journey of displacement and constant movement that has never stopped since the outbreak of the war in Sudan in April 2023. I search for a sense of home that remains out of reach through the cities I’ve passed by. I am searching for it within my memory, emotions, my displaced family and friends, and fellow refugees. I question how we feel about where we stay, and how we can navigate these circumstances together while also having different experiences.
