The Homelands Project

Founded in 2018, The Homelands Project is a non-profit organisation based in Watermael-Boitsfort, Belgium working on arts & culture, refugees & migration, community development.

The Homelands Project is a community co-creation project for and by newcomer artists, led by the International Yehudi Menuhin Foundation and its partners. Started in Brussels in 2018, it pairs newcomer artists with staff from local cultural institutions. The tandems run socio-artistic processes of about six months with local community groups, using art to explore belonging and to promote social inclusion, a fairer perception of newcomers and more humane integration. The project operates in Brussels, Leuven and Namur, and includes a training programme for artists and a digital talk show.
