That Feels Like Home, Podcast Season 2

In this episode MoDA's curator, Ana Baeza, talks to historians Trevor Keeble (Portsmouth University) and Jane Hamlett (Royal Holloway, University of London) about the design of homes in Britain from the nineteenth century onward. They discuss the idea of the home as a private space, and consider how we are currently re-negotiating these spaces in the context of Covid19 through the uses of digital technologies.

Our homes are sensory spaces. We make sense of our homes through objects, textures and sounds that express and construct our everyday lives. Under voluntary or enforced confinement, how have we (re)learnt to live in these spaces?

In this episode, Ana Baeza talks to anthropologist Sarah Pink (Monash University, Australia) about the effects of Covid19 on practices of home-making, and the impact of the digital in extending and enclosing our domestic spaces.

In this episode we consider the sounds of our homes, from the radio to silence to the mundane sounds of day to day, and how we are possibly more aware of them during Covid19. Ana Baeza talks to Jo Tacchi and sound artist and knitter Felicity Ford about how these audiophonic landscapes are changing with digital technologies.

This episode focuses on debates about health and architecture at the level of the city, and how they are visualised and represented. Ana Baeza talks to Elizabeth Darling (Oxford Brookes University) and Lukas Engelmann (University of Edinburgh) about the history of hygiene and sanitation. They discuss differences and parallels between then and now. How are today's narratives around the home, health and the pandemic comparable to those of the past?

In this episode Ana Baeza talks to Rosie Cox (Birkbeck) and Lucy Delap (Cambridge University) about the boundaries between home and work. They discuss the history of the physical separation of home and work and use this to think about the transitions marked by Covid19, as we witness a blurring of these boundaries. How does this effect everyday life, privacy and professional relationships?

The recent coronavirus pandemic has highlighted and exacerbated the already precarious housing situation for many. In this episode, Ana Baeza and David Madden (LSE) take a look at housing legislation during earlier social crises and previous regulation to protect residents. How are current campaigns tackling the basic right to an affordable home, and what scenarios can we expect over the next few months or years?

In this episode MoDA's curator, Ana Baeza, discusses with Elizabeth Stainforth (University of Leeds) how people have staged their homes for public view, from analogue photography to digital imaging on social media.
