About this Event
Co-created with this year's Paul Robeson High School seniors, the Robeson '22 Portraits show the students as they want to be remembered: invoking the legacies of their loved ones with family photos, forecasting their futures with self-designed clothing and stethoscopes in hand, and pointing directly at the camera—letting us know that this moment is theirs.
Join us in celebration of the Paul Robeson High School Class of 2022 as their portraits are projected in Drexel’s Picture Gallery for a one-night-only exhibition on Thursday, June 2 from 6:00-7:30pm. Light refreshments will be served.
The Robeson '22 Portraits project is led by ArtistYear AmeriCorps Senior Fellow Devin Welsh, with photographer Dejah McIntosh (Paul Robeson '19), and done in collaboration with ArtistYear and The Drexel Collection.
