About the Project: Picturing Pluralism is a semester-long photography, conversation, and dialogue project that has taken place during the Fall 2026 semester with a cohort of UMBC students, staff, and faculty. CRSP has been partnering with Interfaith Photovoice to guide this group-curated project.
Picturing Pluralism seeks to lift up the experiences that campus community members have with the idea of pluralism, which CRSP defines as "engagement with religious, secular, and spiritual diversity towards a positive outcome." This project aims to help lift up UMBC's value of Inclusive Excellence through visual storytelling as we uncover the spaces and moments where our campus community connects across difference. Though this project emphasizes religious, secular (non-religious), and spiritual identities, participants are encouraged to explore other important social identities and how these identities intersect as they find and create spaces for belonging and meaning-making on campus.
