Original: I'm in Exile, and I Go Home Every Day https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/opinion/exile-displacement-belarus-portals.html
A New York Times opinion piece explores how exiles from Belarus, displaced by the government's crackdown, are using a 'portal' installation to symbolically reunite with the country they fled. The writer reflects on exile and displacement, describing daily virtual encounters with a homeland they cannot physically return to, a poignant symbol of separation under authoritarian rule.
Why now: The emotional story of Belarusian exiles connecting home through a portal resonates amid ongoing concern over political repression and displacement.
