There's No Place Like Home

Stephanie Hemelryk Donald is Professor of Film at Monash University Malaysia and Head of the School of Arts and Social Sciences. Since 2018 she has worked in the Justice, Arts and Migration Network (Lincoln-Sydney-Hong Kong) on artivist interventions that highlight state injustices against people, including children, on migrant journeys. This work was made possible by Natasha Davis (The Big Walk: It Takes a Decade, 2020), Hoda Afshar (Remain / There’s No Place Like Home, 2019), the SYMAAG, Maison de Femmes, and Right to Remain organisers in Dunquerque, Manchester, and Sheffield, and the curators at Mansions of the Future (Lincoln 2018-2020).
