On October 22nd, ICD's striking new gallery of art created by students with disabilities from Discovery High School in the Bronx opened at our offices in Lower Manhattan.
From April to June of this year, twenty-two sophomores at Discovery High School in the Bronx came together to share deep, emotional, and influential experiences through creative expression.
Students created identity wheels, studied various artworks, and went to art exhibitions in downtown Manhattan at The Cooper Union to help them define what the word “identity” means to them.
In this exhibition, “identity” means guts, love, obsession, heartbreak, heart-growth, friendship, revelations, experiences, queerness, and more.
We are thrilled to have this installation of art on diverse identities and self-discovery displayed in our offices for the next year and warmly invite you to visit us to see these impressive pieces in person.
