Belongings sprung from Jumblies’ Grounds for Goodness project and combines visual arts, storytelling, performance, circus arts and music to explore what ‘belongs’ to us and how and where we ‘belong’.

Belongings is a community arts project taking place in Welland Ontario in 2022 and 2023, with Femmes du Feu Creations. It also had iterations with Jumblies at The Ground Floor, in Brampton with Sharada Eswar, and during Camp Naivelt 2022 Arts Week.
