Join us for community exploration of community and belonging as Corvallis hosts award-winning photographer John Noltner from October 16 to 22, 2023. As a storyteller, Noltner has worked on four continents gathering stories of human courage, grace, and resilience. Now he is coming to Corvallis to ask: “What does belonging mean to you?” This community building experience will feature photography exhibits, photography studio sessions, and a keynote talk and dialogue — all centered around belonging. This programming series is being offered as part of the multimedia arts project A Peace of My Mind. The programs are designed to provide the Corvallis community with the opportunity to teach each other what we need to truly belong through portraits and personal stories.

All programs are free and open to the public. Many local community organizations, nonprofits, and OSU units have collaborated to support the planning of this series. Accommodations requests related to disability should be made to Community Engagement & Leadership at cel@oregonstate.edu or 541-737-3041.
