About the Exhibition:
The Self Portraits: Explorations of Identity exhibition showcased the artistic talents of NYC high school students, inviting submissions that explored themes of identity, the underrepresentation of people of color, and gender in visual communication.
Supported by the BRESI grant, the New York City College of Technology’s Department of Communication Design in collaboration with the Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) Committee and Faculty Commons, received over 70 submissions, from which 30 finalists were selected by jurors who were COMD BFA alumni. The opening, on December 1st, 2022, in COMD’s gallery space, garnered a diverse audience with the young artists, their families, friends, and art teachers in attendance.
Three students received special recognition awards for their talent and creativity. The exhibition aimed to foster discussions about identity while preparing first-year COMD faculty to guide students in understanding demographics and user personas in communication design.
