If this is where you want to be, who can tell you otherwise?

Poet and interdisciplinary artist Arsimmer McCoy and designers Mariana Pariani and Sebastiàn Gagin help us talk about access and belonging.

Over the years, we’ve seen how navigating dominant systems in the art world can be a confusing process.

Do You Belong is about dismantling the notion that we are only capable of being one thing. We are composed of many ancestral hearts and minds. We should feel comfortable telling our stories in any way we deem necessary. Your discomfort lies only in doubt. How do we know that we belong? What do your heart, hands, and voice say about it? If they all agree that this is what you want and this is where you want to be, who can tell you otherwise?
