This My Life. This My Art

The Teens of Making Justice and Faisal Abdu’Allah

December 2018 - January 2019

This My Life. This My Art is a celebration of identity through the lens of Afrofuturism. Produced during 15 weeks of Making Justice workshops and launching with identifying idols and capturing similarities to one another, the group used material from photography sessions to then work through a progression of visual disciplines in search of expressing their optimal future self. The art and the conversations reflect individuality, societal perceptions, and the future outlook of each self and of each other.
