The program opens with a workshop featuring storytelling, collaborative weaving, and a group discussion about community and belonging on July 22, 2024. The gathering is guided by stories collected by Asrani and culminates in the creation—and ceremonial dismantling—of a community-woven placemat. An accompanying exhibition of the project runs from July 23 to August 1, 2024, with a closing reception on August 1. The project, presented by UBC’s Centre for Migration Studies as part of the “Belonging in Unceded Territory” initiative, foregrounds personal and collective narratives that address settler colonialism, Indigenous presence, and the complex politics of belonging on these lands.
