new banner

A new banner for a new year. This one continues my infatuation with the many lounges scattered about uCalgary, often tucked into forgotten corners and surprising places. Waypoints for academic pilgrims, they are symbiotic spaces, bringing together students from multiple faculties for cross-mojonation, thereby preserving some of the uni in university. They are physical parables, subtle reminders for those with eyes to see that we were meant not to partition ourselves and our knowledge, but to come together in community and right relationship.

This lounge is on the roof of the Arts Parkade. The Arts Parkade, you’ll notice, has a desolate, post-apocalyptic feel to it, especially the arts part of the Arts Parkade. It is a lounge speaking the parable well through the presence of absence. A fitting banner for my final few weeks at bsmucalgary.
