About this event
"A Peace of My Mind" is a multimedia arts project built around the simple question, “What does peace mean to you?”
Founded in 2009 by award-winning Minnesota photographer John Noltner, the project began as an effort to rediscover humanity in an increasingly polarized world.
On Thursday [Jan. 30] from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Noltner will hold a studio in Mississippi State's Foster Ballroom (Section M). All are welcome to participate. Noltner will take a photograph of each interested individual and will collect his/her story based on questions about valuing differences and finding unity at Mississippi State. Portraits from the studio will be shared at a later date.
This free event is sponsored by MSU's Holmes Cultural Diversity Center.
