In “Home,” artist and filmmaker Kyoko Takenaka unveils a visual and sonic portrait of belonging and memory in four chapters. Calling upon the experiences that underline her otherness as an Asian-American, the film chronicles her contemplations through original song and poetry, as well as video clips, audio recordings and digital conversations captured from real-life experiences over the span of 7 years. Through references to pop culture, racist imitations of Asians, and a defining return to her childhood home, “Home” is a multimedia statement on how the affirmation of culture, resistance and resilience can disrupt enduring myths and redeem our histories.
