This photograph is titled after James Baldwin's novel, Giovanni's Room. The night was drawing to a close for Aberystwyth University students as they indulged in a defiant but quick embrace. The Welsh town is famed for capturing graduates forever in its idyllic bubble, for they struggle to find a sense of hiraeth (deep longing for something, especially one's home) elsewhere. The novel tackles an exploration of LGBTQ+ identity, the concept of belonging, and societal expectations. At progressive institutions, one can create sanctuary in a public setting and reflect the struggle for acceptance.
