We’re recording the second season of this podcast in the context of the global pandemic. So in Season Two of That Feels Like Home, we explore multiple stories around home in the current crisis.

MoDA’s curator, Ana Baeza, will be talking with historians, anthropologists, activists and practitioners about the challenges brought about by Covid-19: from the sensory experience of the home, through to the impact of the pandemic on housing issues, housework and health. As always, we draw inspiration from MoDA’s collections to illuminate these questions in the present.

We also want to hear from you how you’re experiencing lockdown at home. We’ve launched a crowd-sourcing initiative to feature diverse voices in our podcast. If you’d like to take part, please get in touch by emailing [email protected].
