Presentation on the photographic series

Longing for our roots
Navigating identities: is there a relationship between Diaspora’s homeland and new land? How do diasporas express their sense of belonging in multiple societies?
The photographic series it's about longing for our roots, it's about strong friendships and our traditions. Far from our homeland we are sewing traditional blouses(called IA), I care everywhere my granny's handmade carpet, that she offered for my marriage, these and some many other things makes us feel a little bit like home. We sing "Moldovan Rose" and dance "Hora" (traditional Moldovan dance), even if we have crossed boarders, roads and rivers and encountered new people, traditions we talk and promote our country proudly, because it is a small country, but with a BIG heart, we are constantly cherishing the place were we came from, Moldova.
