Camino a Casa | Way Home

Way Home continues photographer Ximena Berecochea’s reflection on how we connect with our surroundings and others, now influenced by her experience as a Mexican living in Canada since 2007. It is part of a three-year project called Difference, where she explores displacement, geographic mobility, and how we perceive and are perceived. Ximena delves into the experience of those who have left their homes, focusing on the dislocated perspective of the immigrant, the concept of belonging, and the duality it involves—relating to both the place left behind and the new space where we build a new story.

This free and open exhibition takes place in the Factory Theatre entrance lobby during open hours.
