About the Exhibition

Talkin’ Back: Chicago Youth Respond brings together student work from six different Chicago public schools and communities created in programs sponsored by the Museum of Contemporary Photography (MoCP) and Project AIM at the Center for Community Arts Partnerships (CCAP), Columbia College Chicago.
