Teens are invited to experience the exhibition Called to the Camera: Black American Studio Photographers and enjoy a space devoted to rest and self-representation, designed by NOMA’s Teen Art Council. See Me explores themes from the exhibition like self-portraiture, identity, and the uses of photography in the past and today.

Stop by to recharge in the lounge and galleries and take part in interactive activities inspired by the exhibition:

• 2–5 pm: Art-Making: Frame It! Build your own keepsake photo frame inspired by decorative cases for daguerreotype photographs, one of the earliest forms of photography.

• 2–4 pm: Pop-Up Talk & Photo Booth with visiting artist Tiffany Smith Meet Tiffany Smith, a New York–based interdisciplinary artist whose work is featured in the exhibition. Smith’s photographic portraits, installations, user engaged experiences, and assemblages focus on identity, representation, cultural ambiguity, and displacement. Step into the photo booth, designed and activated by the Teen Art Council in collaboration with the artist, to pose for a portrait that celebrates how you invite others to see you.

• 4–5 pm: Poetry Reading & Open Mic Listen to youth poets perform original works, and peruse poetry art books created by youth artists with Creative Assembly Cohort members Tiana Noble and Joseph Darensbourg. Want to perform? Bring your own poems and sign up at the event!

All teens are admitted to the museum for free year-round, courtesy of The Helis Foundation. Teens and accompanying adults may check in at the front desk upon arrival.
