FEBRUARY 25 - MARCH 12, 2023
Often stereotyped and discriminated against, many immigrant kids suffered verbal and physical abuse associated with cultural rejection and social marginalization.
In search of happiness, they often admire and imitate the determination of individuals who have proven that anything is possible no matter what obstacles we face.
This body of work reminds us that despite the struggles of social rejection, language barriers, and cultural differences, immigrant kids from all walks of life can overcome their pain together and develop joyful emotions.

Photography Exhibition

Gallery 90220 looks forward to giving the viewer an intimate look behind the lense that led not only to an award for Best Short Film by the African-American Film Critics Association, but also an Oscar for Best Live-Action Short Film by the Academy Awards in 2021. Photographs selected for this exclusive exhibition were selected by the film’s Director Travon Free.
