Stephanie Kloibhofer: We don’t need the state to promote diversity  

(BE)longing broadly examines themes of identity and the desire to be part of a larger tribe. Elaine Brody's To Have and To Hold: Collecting and the Heart's Desire is a meditation on and exploration of the collector's impulse to possess or obtain. Caught between having and being, the collector searches for a state of balance, never far from being overtaken by his beloved possessions. In Stephanie Kloibhofer's series entitledn We don’t need the state to promote diversity, possessions lend identity to individuals in ways that both define and defy stereotypes. Erin Clarke's collaborative documentary work, Of Self and Home: Queer Faces, Queer Places, combines self-porttrait painting and personal stories of queer-identified people who have experienced homelessness or other forms of displacement. Gail Hammer's Experiencing Dance: Mind & Body Memory is a series of photographs that catalogue the life-affirming activity of dance and the ways that it shapes our sense of self, community and history.
