U School students engaged in a series of discussions and activities surrounding race, religion and culture to build connection through the stories they shared. They reflected on similarities and differences while celebrating their community. Their stories inspired the use of symbols in self-portraiture. They used cameras to photograph each other, digitally edited the pictures and simplified them into stencils. After printing the stencils, the images were transferred onto canvas, which were hand-painted using acrylics.
