Ruchi Anand gave a TEDx talk at the ISC Paris on 16 September 2023 which problematizes the idea of home and identity. It talkes about people who have wandered so far away from home that they don't know where home is anymore. The talk got a standing ovation as it gives solutions by using the Japanese art of Kintsugi to piece together 'home' which she argues is a 2-letter word - ME.
