Rooting in our New Home Far From Home
Workshop hosted by Amber Ablett
This workshop on creating roots invites participants with migrant backgrounds to share stories of belonging, roots, and the making of home in a new place. Participants are encouraged to bring seeds that carry personal meaning, and to explore how memory, identity, and growth can take root, connecting past and future environments.

About the host
Amber Ablett (she/her) is an artist and writer based in Vestlandet, Norway. Using performance, text, sound and re-enactment, her work looks at the importance of belonging to how we be together, with a focus on how our society shapes, reflects, controls and limits our multifaceted identities. Ablett uses her own stories of generational migration and Afro-European descent, as starting points to create a space for questioning, communality and critical thinking; she is interested in how we learn about ourselves through learning about other people and the conflict between our internal and perceived sense of home. Stepping away from spectacle, Ablett often uses workshops and gatherings as an alternative framework to experience art.
