This summer we ran our SEE ME BECAUSE public campaign at subway and streetcar stations across NYC and MKE. This multi city initiative displayed 24 black and white photographic portraits of local teens, accompanied by each individual’s personal story as told in their own words. The campaign was a huge success and we’re thrilled that millions of people got to see and read about these young artists from their communities. By using the public space as a contemporary art gallery, these portraits aim to spark dialogue around youth identities and self-determination. —— Thank you to our sponsors @drjart @humanitiesny @mkedowntown @thehopmke @herschelsupply for the support to fully realize this project.
