A HOME ON EVERY FLOOR (2023)
A poet uses her voice to excavate the lost home of her childhood.
Poet Hanna Asefaw grew up in a municipal flat in Oslo with her Eritrean family in the late 90s. Through an electrifying spoken word performance, she visits her childhood universe reimagined in miniature, and reflects on community, diversity and belonging - and the political indifference that broke it apart.
