Someplace Else: A Travel Archive speaks to anyone who has ever travelled and negotiated an inescapable pull between two places. Since 1991, Stevenson has been travelling back and forth between Aotearoa New Zealand and Budapest, Hungary. Through accumulated travel ephemera and intimate drawings, this long-running project grapples with poignant shifts in time, culture and geo-political landscapes; between a Moana island and an Eastern-European nation. Disruption to international travel brings these works into the uncertain situation many are experiencing now, nostalgia for travel and a precarious anticipation of when we can return to see loved ones, to travel again to our ‘Someplace Else’.
