The Behold You Belong movement is designed to validate very modern experiences with a very old book. Religious literature has unique weight in Utah. For faithful church members it can be tricky to find personal revelation within vast doctrines. For nuanced believers validation around complexity can feel rare. Meanwhile for many ex-mormons, scripture might only come with memories of feeling invisible. This show is curated to acknowledge the humanity, value, and yearning of anyone who has interacted with the Book of Mormon.
As we build compassion for wider perspectives we also cultivate trust in our own expansion. More than being tasteful we hope that this art can be a catalyst for conversation and curiosity; two things that are vital if we all want to feel like we belong.
