Through Aug. 2, 2026
This exhibition showcases the work of 8 Baltimore-based teen photographers who participated in the Walters Art Museum’s third-annual teen photography program, Through Our Eyes. This program offers a ten-week course from March–May where teens learn photography and professional development skills from a professional photographer and museum staff. While exploring the museum and Mount Vernon, teens captured photos focusing on the themes of self-portraiture and identity inspired by Douriean Fletcher: Jewelry of the Afrofuture. Each teen selected two images taken during the program to display.
Now in its third year, this exhibition features work from students representing Baltimore City and County high schools: Baltimore City College High School, Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women, Baltimore School for the Arts, Kenwood High School, Paul Lawrence Dunbar High School, and Reginald F. Lewis High School.
This cohort of Through Our Eyes participants was co-led by esteemed Baltimore artist-photographer Anna Divinagracia, who not only taught technical photography skills but also how to think critically about visual aesthetics and gave career advice as a professional photographer.
Anna Divinagracia (she/they) is a lens-based interdisciplinary artist whose work is inspired by her shared experiences growing up in the Philippines and coming of age in Baltimore. Born in 1997 in Davao City, Philippines, Divinagracia’s artistic journey began at a young age when she discovered her passion for viewing and capturing the world around her through her camera. With a particular curiosity for the intricacies and nuances of Filipino and American culture, Divinagracia uses her art to explore themes of love, destiny, home, identity, and acculturation as an immigrant.
Through Our Eyes is made possible thanks to the Ludwig and Nancy Sternberger Charitable Foundation. Teen programs at the Walters are supported in part by Lewis Contractors, Robert E. Meyerhoff and Rheda Becker, and Sheila Mosmiller Vidmar. Learn more about our Teen Programs.
