Where Do You Belong?

Where do you belong when home and identity have never been simple questio ns?

Where Do You Belong? is a photography exhibition by Jonnah Bron featuring portraits of queer adoptees in places where they feel most at home. Each participant selected a location that holds personal mea ning: a place of comfort, memory, connection or belonging. Seated within t hese landscapes, they take their place in front of the camera and respond, in their own words, to a single question: Where do you belong?

For some adoptees, questions of identity, origin and belonging emerge early in life. Growing up between origins, cultures, families or countrie s can create a lifelong search for where—and with whom—you feel at home. F or queer adoptees, these questions may take on new dimensions as sexuality and gender identity become part of that journey.

Rather than offeri ng one shared narrative, Where Do You Belong? brings together a c ollection of individual voices. The photographs and accompanying texts rev eal different ways of navigating identity, chosen family, visibility, memo ry and community. Some participants find belonging in a landscape, others in a city, a relationship or a memory. Together, the works suggest that ho me is not always where we begin, but something we continue to create throu ghout our lives.

By inviting each participant to choose a place wher e they feel at ease, the exhibition shifts the focus away from loss and to wards presence. These portraits are not only about searching for belonging , but also about claiming space, being seen, and taking one's place in the world.

Where Do You Belong? is an invitation to reflect on the places, people and communities that make us feel at home -and on the many ways we create belonging for ourselves and each other.
