Our annual spring photography exhibit was held at the Edison Place Gallery in downtown DC. A five year retrospective, the exhibit featured over 100 photographs from our youth programs in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Austin, Albuquerque, and Washington, DC, covering youth issues from the "dropout crisis" and school facilities to teen pregnancy and youth homelessness. More than 300 supporters attended the exhibit reception, where former students and organizational partners spoke about their engagement in documentary photography and social change through Critical Exposure.

The 21st Century School Fund, Critical Exposure and Healthy Schools Campaign created this photo exhibition in the Rotunda of the Russell Senate Office Building to showcase the mostly unseen reality of our nation’s school building conditions. The photos and stories in the exhibit were submitted by students, teachers and community members from California to Maine in response to a call for images and essays showing what’s great and what’s troubling about our nation’s public school buildings.
 

Part of the Anacostia Art Walk during the Cherry Blossom Festival, this exhibit in Southeast DC featured the work of youth in Critical Exposure and Words Beats & Life.
