Join us on September 21 for a Tea Time Talk on Belonging with Steve Jones, Adjunct 2 Professor, First Year Core Studio Program.

"The culture of food (making, sharing, hosting, serving) for me is always a space of connection, roots, belonging, memory, and comfort—where friends, family, community, and the individual congregate, let their guard down, and break bread. The feeling we get seeing a familiar representation of ourselves discussed in a class presentation or history lecture - is similar to the feeling of discovering the familiar food of our culture locally, when far from home." -Steve Jones

The Tea Time Talks on Belonging series invites members of the CCA community to talk about creative practices that amplify Belonging through pedagogy and art. Our panelists invite you to engage in thinking about Belonging through various mediums, including conversation, making, movement, and just being. 

Hosted by Shalini Agrawal and moderated by Layla Namak (MArch), Tea Time Talks on Belonging will take place on Thursdays or Wednesdays between 11am and 11:50am. This series is funded by an endowment gift to support The Deborah and Kenneth Novack Creative Citizens Series at CCA, an annual series of public programs focused on creative activism.
