The NEW Committee is pleased to exhibit Selfie Kaleidoscope, created by youth in the [Nu] Links program. Through a series of charcoal drawing workshops, students drew self-portraits using their social media selfies. Selfie Kaleidoscope is a patchwork of these drawings reflecting the varied perspectives, cultural identities and lived narratives of these young artists presented on a banner facing James Street.
