Self Image
Jan. 20 - April 20 in the Loch Walker and Skyway Galleries (Spirit Square)
Opening reception: Thursday, Jan. 20, 6 - 8pm
How do you feel you are perceived by others? If you could create an image to represent your identity or a stereotype other associate with you, what would it look like? We asked students from Hawthorne High School and Myers Park High School as a part of Self Image. The students created conceptual photographs and stop-motion animations relating to identity and the stereotypes they encounter daily.
