Melissa Ann Pinney"What’s Ms. Pinney Doing Here?"

Portraits of Chicago public school students, made over several years during an artist residency.

Since 2018 Pinney has photographed students in Chicago Public Schools as an artist residency. As they welcomed her into their world, the project grew into a record of identity, community and pressing social issues.

Her portraits follow young people through the changes of adolescence, with moments of triumph, grief, humor and tenderness. The show is part of ICP’s Incubator Space program for emerging documentary photographers, curated by Sara Ickow.
