Home is A Foreign Place

Sandra Knecht has been exploring the concept of “home” for over a decade. For Knecht, home is a fluid concept, constantly renegotiated, both individual and ephemeral. Her art delves into what home, as an unknown place, means in geographic, historical, sociological, philosophical, and culinary terms. The exhibition Home Is a Foreign Place at the Kulturstiftung Basel H. Geiger | KBH.G addresses the concept of home in various ways – as a feeling, a place, and an idea. It questions how our understanding of home evolves and how deeply it impacts human existence. This exhibition is the result of ten years of intense research and artistic work, in which Knecht has consistently pursued her examination of themes like home, identity, and diversity. Home Is a Foreign Place represents the concentrated culmination of Sandra Knecht's practice and is her most extensive solo exhibition to date.
