Homage: A Tribute to the Self
Edward R. Murrow High School Senior Art Show
May 29 - June 5, 2026
Homage explores the connections between self, culture, and memory through a series of deeply personal works. Drawing from themes of culture, belonging, alienation, and adolescence, the artists reflect on the experiences and relationships that shaped their identities over time. These works also examine intimacy and vulnerability, considering both emotional closeness and distance within personal and cultural connections. Questions of perception and perspective emerge through experimentation with material texture, and composition, while ideas of identity in transition reveal the fluid and evolving nature of our selfhood.
This exhibition space is arranged as a series of intimate domestic environments, and viewers are invited to move through fragments of both personal and shared experiences. The familiar interiors shown here are filled with traces of everyday life, from clothing and cultural foods to illustrated photographs, portraits, and personal objects. Combined, these spaces reveal moments of vulnerability, tradition, and memory that often remain unacknowledged by the outside world.

Curatorial Class Mentor: Bobbi Salvör Menuez
These students participated in a twelve week curatorial practicum at ELM Foundation. During this time, they learned to develop a curatorial rationale, create a budget proposal, execute and install their exhibition design, and manage an ambitious checklist. In addition, the seniors met with exhibiting artists as well as took a very productive field trip to Materials for the Arts where they sourced much of the material used in the exhibition design.
