HOMECOMING is an interactive installation and on-going social experiment which asks ‘what does home mean to you?’
It is created by Estabrak / إستبرق – an award winning cross-disciplinary artist, film maker, facilitator and researcher committed to experimentation, inclusivity and a participatory arts practice.
You are invited to visit the HOMECOMING installation on Queensway in Crawley Town Centre (outside Decathlon). In our pop-up space, you’ll be able to contribute your ideas of what home means to you by either writing or drawing with invisible ink in any language directly onto the walls.

HOMECOMING Workshops
Over the course of October 2023 and February 2024, Estabrak / إستبرق collaborated with two community groups in Crawley – Wyld Mothers and the Jumma Group – to explore what home means to them through different creative and multi-sensory approaches. What they created together will feature within the installation.
FAQs
- Can I visit the installation if I have physical access needs? e.g. I need step free access.
Yes, the pop-up space will be accessible via a wheelchair ramp with space to move inside. The space will be very dark with limited light so we recommend considering this before entering the space.
- Will there be anyone to support me at the installation? e.g. I need verbal instructions given to me.
There will always a steward on duty who will be happy to support with giving verbal instructions so that you are able to participate. They will also be there to support you with anything else you may need to ensure you are able to participate.

HOMECOMING is open to everyone. We recommend you read the Content Warnings before attending: these will be on display outside the installation and are available here.
