Reflections on Belonging

Welcome to a journey of reflection, exploration, and discovery.

Throughout this exhibition, you will engage with themes that challenge how we understand identity, community, and the possibility of social change. Each section encourages you to reflect on your own experiences and think about how we can, both individually and collectively, contribute to a more inclusive world.

As you explore the exhibits, you will encounter thought-provoking questions and moments of introspection that invite you to connect the themes to your own life and to the broader world around you. Take the time to reflect and imagine how the stories and ideas presented here can shift your perspective. Consider how you can play a role in challenging norms and driving change.

Let this experience encourage you to look deeper, question assumptions, and take meaningful steps toward creating a society where everyone is valued and supported.

Your journey toward justice begins here.

Presented in collaboration with the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) and West Kootenay Local Immigration Partnership (WKLIP)
