Homeland is the culmination of over a year’s exploration of memory, place and interrelated self imagining. It is based in the former homelands, areas defined by the apartheid government for the purposes of confining, defining and disempowering a people; and with subtlety and sensitivity, considers how people develop place related identities out of so notorious a past and the complex ways in which people develop nostalgia for histories that could be considered illegitimate. Sekgala engages concepts of home and how particularly young people, establish an understand of what it means to call a place home and concurrently think beyond it.
