Answers to the question, “Where is home for you?” reveal that a sense of belonging is a composite of things, people, places, and memories. “To belong” may be a goal, but belonging, in its gerund noun form, is an active practice revisited, maintained, and altered through life. The works of Ariana Gomez, Alexandre Pépin, Phoebe Shuman-Goodier, and Rodell Warner point to the composite nature of belonging and the concomitant need to visualize memory and lineage to feel like one belongs. Perhaps a viewer might, in the images of the exhibition, find something to add to their own evolving sense of belonging. 

Belongings is organized by art historian Maggie Mitts.
