In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, social belonging is smack in the middle of the pyramid. We do not thrive without the understanding of how we fit in. And yet, social isolation and the sense of otherness pervade our public life. How can we better be a village to one another? How can we better help one another belong?

Through a series of guided engagements with the artwork, you will be invited to explore your sense of belonging in the creation of a new temporary mural at one of the city’s busiest intersections. What does belonging feel like? Smell like? What is a memory you have of feeling like you belonged?

Each day a new prompt will lead to the creation of a community mural to remind us all that we are part of something, and that we are in this together.
