“The United States was built on and is bettered by immigrants bringing their homes to our shores, and Homeward Bound illuminates that reality – and all its complexity – beautifully.”
Caitlin Greenwood ( ) for The Austin Chronicle ( ), 

𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝘽𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 is a group exhibition featuring Josue Bessiake ( ), Esther Marie Hall ( ), and Bárbara Miñarro ( ), each exploring the layered and deeply personal concept of home – a timely and moving exploration of migration, identity, and belonging.

Friday, February 27th 2026

𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙍𝙤𝙤𝙢𝙨 is an interactive, collaborative public performance that references the shifting functions of confined spaces. Roughly modeled after Bessaike’s family’s earliest living quarters, the work centers on an ongoing conversation between performers and audience members.

In the performance, the performers embody one of the primary functions of a “little room”: that of a recording space. The music composed during the performance draws from the sounds often heard in these environments—the prattering of rodents between walls, family disputes unfolding in adjacent rooms, eavesdropping through thin partitions, and inadvertent interruptions.

Through these shared sonic and social experiences, 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙇𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚 𝙍𝙤𝙤𝙢𝙨 seeks to create a sense of universality, highlighting common realities across cultures that inhabit and adapt to little rooms.

“Great things start in little rooms” - André Lauren Benjamin (André 3000)
