About the Exhibition

Bill Bamberger: Boys Will Be Men presents introspective portraits by distinguished Durham-based photographer Bill Bamberger of male-identifying high school students. These images, accompanied by an audio program in which the students reflect on the expectations and pressures they experience in their daily lives, explore the transition from childhood to adulthood for contemporary youth. The exhibition presents a selection of forty-two photographs drawn from images created with over 250 student participants from Durham School of the Arts. The photographs are presented alongside an audio program drawn from a series of long-form interviews with selected students. In this iteration, the images are presented in color rather than black and white.
