A Peace of My Mind: Exploring Belonging – Studio Session

We all belong in the circle of human concern. Join us for community exploration of community and belonging as Corvallis hosts award-winning photographer John Noltner from October 15 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?” Designed to bring the OSU and local Corvallis communities together, this community building experience will feature photo exhibits, photo sessions, and a keynote talk and dialogue — all centered around belonging.

It’s your time to share! All OSU and Corvallis community members are invited to contribute by posing for a photograph and offering your perspective on the question “What does belonging mean to you?” Diverse participation will add to the richness and fullness of the project as well as deeper understanding of the realities that exist in Corvallis. By participating in a photo session, not only will you be able to describe what belonging means to you, but you’ll also have your answer paired with a professional headshot taken by John Noltner. These photos will be free for your own personal use. You might also see yourself reflected in the keynote talk later in the week.

Sign up for an appointment or show up as a walk-in! Appointments are recommended for anyone with limited windows of time available.
