A community gathering migration, belonging and the social architecture of care.
An.Other Collective presents Rituals of Return, a community gathering co-led by Meutia and Majdina Widodo
Meutia and Majdina Widodo have created an inclusive environment where people from diverse backgrounds can openly share their lived experiences. The conversations highlight that while every migration journey is unique, they are connected by universal values such as empathy, solidarity, and compassion.
More than an art event, Rituals of Return serves as a platform to strengthen community connections and encourage dialogue around identity, diversity, and belonging. It invites participants to reflect on how cultures of care are created through relationships, shared experiences, and collective responsibility.
The gathering is a reminder that wherever people may live, a sense of belonging can flourish when communities create space to listen, connect, and care for one another.
