Introduction


During Spring Term 2022, a team of ULS librarians asked a group of Pitt undergraduate and graduate students to take and share photographs of public spaces in which they felt comfortable, welcomed, and that they belonged. These photographs became a base for discussions with the students to uncover characteristics of spaces in which those from diverse backgrounds would feel welcome and that they belonged. The findings from these conversations informed an architecture student who developed ideas for space design to promote a sense of belonging. In this exhibit you will see a selection of photographs taken by project participants, grouped based on common themes uncovered in our discussions, and design solutions developed based on the findings.
