I Wish I Knew Who I Was Before I Was Me
Frye Art Museum + Art Corps, 2009-10

I Wish I Knew Who I Was Before I Was Me offered unique insight into the Frye collection as experienced by youth. Over the course of several months, students participated in the behind-the-scenes operations of the Museum, working together to select objects from the Frye’s permanent collection and to determine an exhibition theme and title. Incorporating music, poetry, and spoken word, I Wish I Knew Who I Was Before I Was Me included the students’ responses to the artwork they chose for the exhibition.
