Join us this September for two free events exploring what it means to belong in Jersey. Through presentations, conversation and shared reflection, we'll share new research developed through ArtHouse Jersey's long-term Abundant Futures project and invite audiences to take part in an important conversation about identity, community and the Island's future.

Over the past three years, artist Dana Olărescu has led Abundant Futures, a long-term socially engaged project exploring belonging through artistic collaborations and conversations with communities across the Island. The project has led to an independent research study by researcher Mariana Pinto Leitão Pereira, bringing together reflections from Islanders of many different backgrounds and experiences. Rather than offering definitive answers, the research opens up new perspectives and conversations about belonging, identity and participation.

On Saturday 26 September, everyone is invited to an informal public event sharing the research findings and the stories behind them. On Monday 28 September, organisations, policymakers and community partners will come together to explore how the work might inform future thinking and collaboration.
