To celebrate the 2021 @mopdenver, we invited Colorado high school photography students to enter a juried virtual exhibit in response to the year 2020. ⁠⁠

The theme: 2020 has been a challenging year marked by a global pandemic, widespread protests against racial inequality, and one of the most divisive elections in modern history. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We wanted to showcase students’ perspectives of the past year. For this call 248 students submitted work and the jurors selected 33 images for the online exhibition.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Jurors: Samantha Johnston, Executive Director & Curator, CPAC; Anthony Camera, Photographer; and Mark Sink, Photographer, MOP Founder.⁠⁠

“As I document my son I am interested in examini

“As I document my son I am interested in examining his childhood and the world he navigates…He can’t live a carefree childhood as he deserves; there is a weight that comes with his blackness, a weight that he is not ready to bear.”⁠ - Rashod Taylor (@rashodtaylorphoto)⁠ ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
In "Little Black Boy," Rashod explores fatherhood and the Black American experience through documenting his son’s life. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We are honored to be able to showcase Rashod’s work alongside Alanna Airitam (@alannaairitam) and Narkita Gold (@narkitagold) in our upcoming exhibition Reflecting Voices as part of Month of Photography (@mopdenver). ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
For more information on the exhibit, which opens February 19th, visit the link in our bio under Exhibitions.⁠⁠
