2020 Eye on Houston: High School Documentary Photography

July 05 - January 03,2021

An annual group photography exhibition featuring work by Houston area high schools. From the MFAH: "See Houston from a new angle—through the eyes of the city’s teenagers. Eye on Houston: High School Documentary Photography documents and celebrates the diversity of neighborhoods throughout the city. The annual exhibition is a collaboration between the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and area high schools. Now in its 25th year, Eye on Houston invites students to offer a glimpse into their daily lives, experiences, and personal stories. Each generation witnesses Houston through new eyes, seeing and experiencing a fresh incarnation of the city. Utilizing photography as a tool, these student photographers document their perspectives. All Houston Independent School District high schools were invited to take part this year, and the Museum received more than 1,000 submissions from across the Houston area. The diversity of these areas, and the connections between them, emerge through images that explore several themes: Movement, Home, Cultures, Family, and Growing Up. The 100 photographs chosen for the exhibition showcase work by freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors. The 11 participating schools are Bellaire High School, Carnegie Vanguard High School, César E. Chavez High School, DeBakey High School for Health Professions, Eastwood Academy, Furr High School, Jane Long Academy, Sharpstown High School, Westbury High School, Westside High School, and Jack Yates High School."
