What About Us? is a teen-curated exhibition of artworks by NYC students focusing on the perspective of teen artists on controversial issues such as mental health, race, gender, sexuality, and personal identities. For this exhibition, we are displaying pieces of work made by artists with much insight and connection to the theme, “What About Us?” Whether it is direct images of student protests or abstract representations of questioning identity, they portray their message with boldness. The theme calls attention to people we may not notice, or even ignore. It’s important to give a voice to marginalized groups and underrepresented people, which is one of the many purposes of this exhibition.
