Join Teen Exhibitions Program to celebrate the opening of Crossroads, an exhibition featuring work by the young artists in Chapters of Choice, a ten-week-long comic-making program led by Urbano Artist-in-Residence Maria Fong in the spring of 2025.
Urbano is a nonprofit organization that brings together visual artists, local youth, and community members to learn and experiment through opportunities, workshops, projects and more! Chapters of Choice used storytelling, performance, and peer-led learning to support youth in untangling the question: “Do you feel like you have a choice?” The artists explored autobiographical comic-making to not only reflect upon how they have made decisions for their lives in the past, but also to think about how they can render self-led choices in the future.
This exhibition was organized by the ICA Teen Exhibitions Program (TEP), a group of teens who work together to plan, organize, and install exhibitions in the ICA Teen Galleries. It will be on view in the Teen Galleries at the ICA Seaport Studio through May 26, 2026.
The opening is free and open to all ages.
