Look At Me!: 2025 Youth Curatorial Fellowship Exhibition
Look At Me! is a visual art exhibition for teens, by teens, curated by our 2025 Youth Curatorial Fellows.
“Look at me! Hear me! See me!” No one wants to shout to be heard. We have stories to tell, signs to be seen. We don’t need others speaking over us, for so many voices have been filtered and silenced. For those too afraid to speak up and for those who can’t: shout! Our exhibition amplifies the voices of the quiet. Let us show the love, hate, and sorrow that bring the forgotten together. Leave no individual soul out. To see or not to see, to be seen or to stay invisible. What is it that YOU are so desperate to reveal about yourself?
Concrete Stories: 2025 Youth Media Fellowship Exhibition
Concrete Stories is a film festival for teens, by teens, hosted at BRIC House as part of our 2025 Youth Takeover event on May 15. From May 16-August 3, 2025, the films showcased at the festival will be on view at BRIC House alongside other youth exhibitions.
Concrete Stories, curated by BRIC’s 2025 Youth Media Fellows, aims to promote creativity from the youth and showcase their power and potential. It showcases authentic, entertaining, and diverse works across all genres by New York City youth filmmakers. Awards will be given to films across different categories. The festival is run by teens and gives a platform to the creative minds of the youth. It’s important for people to express themselves and create community. Our goal is for filmmakers of all ages to be represented.
