A sense of belonging is fundamental to wellbeing, yet simply bringing people together does not guarantee meaningful connections will form. In this virtual webinar, Professor Troy Glover will draw on his research on social connection, social capital and the conditions that foster sociability to explore what it takes to create a genuine sense of belonging on campus. The discussion will consider why belonging matters, how everyday interactions and shared experiences can help transform simply being around others into meaningful connections, and what universities can do to create environments where students feel welcomed, valued and part of a community.

Abraham Oghobase investigates the ways that photographic images shape memory and history. The artist’s mixed-media installation Onoriode (Who Knows Tomorrow?) references both his middle name and its translation from the Urhobo language. Exhibited in context with the large-scale print installation Notes to Self, these recent bodies of work are made in response to the tensions inherent to both the personal and historical archive.

The multidisciplinary artworks in Handheld are rooted in Laura Moore’s fascination with obsolete technology and her commitment to repurposing materials. Having established a reputation for carving 1:1 scale vintage computer monitors and boom boxes out of stone, over the last few years her practice has expanded to include the making of quilts and mosaics.
