This exhibition features student work from our fall and spring high school photography classes taught by Sydney Allen. Students have been exploring new approaches to Portraiture as a response to an overall generational desire to be less looked at, but still wanting to be visible. The photos presented result from students' examination of making portraits without using the face or facial identifiers.
Emerging filmmakers from Wide Angle Youth Media bring fresh perspectives to the screen in this collection of short films. From poetry to advocacy, they emphasize the power of diverse artistic voices. Venture into the cultural fabric of Maryland via an adaptation of the poetry of Amanda Gorman, stories that uplift Latinx experiences, and a series highlighting folklife artists, supported by the Maryland State Arts Council.
Save the date! Join us for this in-person celebration and see all of the work students create this summer. MediaWorks is our summer workforce development initiative in partnership with Baltimore City's YouthWorks.

This year Wide Angle's theme for MediaWorks chosen by students is “Stigma and Stereotypes.” Keeping in mind the ways that these stereotypes are perpetuated in not just media, but spread to other issues in the local community, students spent five weeks researching and creating media surrounding this topic. Wide Angle's virtual closing event, Breaking Barriers: Getting at the Heart of Stigma & Stereotypes, was created by MediaWorks student planners to showcase what they've learned and created over the past few weeks.

COVID-19 has disrupted many aspects of the normal high school experience, but all of our students, and our class of 2021, have risen to the occasion!
