Pinney intends her portraits to honor and to recognize the radiant young people in our public schools, especially those seldom represented.The images bear witness to everyday moments of life at school. The teens collaborate in the art-making by welcoming Ms.Pinney into their world. She never knows what the students will do next; their beauty, their compassion and their conflicts are unrehearsed. Over time, the project has deepened into a narrative of identity, community and urgent social issues.Ms. Pinney has come to appreciate the meaning this project holds for herself and for the students themselves, who tell her they feel truly seen by their participation.This Presentation is part of Leica Gallery Chicago's ongoing series: On PhotographyA Series of Talks by Women in PhotographyEach month, Leica Chicago will present On Photography, a speaker series highlighting the voices of women working in photography.
