description This paper explores homemaking practices among Sikh women in rural Tuscany, highlighting how domestic spaces become key sites of diasporic identity, negotiation, and resistance.

Homes and objects emerge as agents of transformation, where care, control, and belonging intersect. The rural diaspora becomes a space of possibility, rearticulated through everyday practices.
