For this exhibition, students from MoMA’s partner schools were invited to answer the question, “Who am I?” In response, they created a diverse range of self-portraits—realistic, expressive, and symbolic—that represent their sense of self. Inspired by works in MoMA’s collection, students explored various mediums, including drawing, painting, and collage.
