Social Belonging Art Collective
The Social Belonging Art Collective (SBAC) is a cohort based co-curricular learning opportunity intended for first generation graduate level students at UW-Madison.
UW-Madison’s SBAC will host 8-16 graduate level students for weekly meetings alternating between art making and discussions about identity and belonging on campus. These sessions will offer participants the opportunity to share their experiences with others, grow in their cultural capital, and better understand how to navigate academic and professional spaces within the United States.
By participating in the Social Belonging Art Collective, students:
- Identify their own multiple intersecting identities, experiences, and backgrounds, and how they show up in collegiate and professional spaces
- Engage in art making projects that emphasize self exploration and self care
- Build skills in engaging in a diverse community where everyone holds strong sense of belonging and respect
