About the series: Beauty, Art, Belonging, and the Neuroscience of Place

Co-hosted by Home Ground Lab and Clark University’s Integration and Belonging Hub

Can beauty help people heal? Rebuild? Belong?

This three-part webinar series explores how beauty, art, and design intersect with neuroscience, dignity, and resilience—especially in contexts of displacement, housing insecurity, and humanitarian response. From refugee camps and post-disaster neighborhoods to communities painting their way back to belonging, this series reveals a radical truth: Beauty is not a luxury. Beauty is infrastructure. Each session brings together global experts in neuroaesthetics, refugee leaders, urban designers, and humanitarian practitioners.
