This article considers participation by migrant children in home-making as a practice of everyday politics, which is both agentic and interdependent. It highlights the contested and fluid nature of the concept of ‘home’, and the multiple resources involved in its constitution. It focuses on one child’s meaning-making work in the context of idealised notions of home foregrounding the nuclear family, privacy and fixity. It argues that his narratives, intersected by those of his mother, tactically re-territorialise an institutional site by constructing belongings through relationships, encounters and movements
