Addressing the role that house-beautification plays for individuals coming to terms with the traumas associated with involuntary dislocation, Drawn to Beauty: The Practice of House-Beautification as Homemaking amongst the Forcibly Displaced situates aesthetics as critically important to the emerging interdisciplinary framework articulating the conditions for remaking home in the aftermath of domicide, environmental disaster, and other instances of home's destruction. Culled from a wide array of sources including personal experience, housing theory, an analysis of third realm beauty, trauma studies and my extensive research-creation practice, this text proposes that attention paid to the daily manipulation of home's things and objects is a particularly active site for (be)coming home anew
