Portraits of First-Generation Identity in Higher Education

The lives and experiences of students, families, faculty and professional staff who identify as first-generation are the subject of increased attention in higher education across the United States. The success of programs, initiatives, and interventions mostly focus on measurable student “outcomes” but may often miss the complicated narratives of aspiration, sacrifice, accomplishment and identity work first-generation students, families, faculty, staff and communities navigate. Portraiture can make visible the triumphs and challenges of being first in the family in higher educational spaces.

We invite all artists to submit up to 3 of their Slow Selfies for consideration, whether it be through painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, or mixed media. We want to see your personality, emotions, and experiences come to life through an imaginative and innovative depiction of oneself.

Entries are open until 11:59pm August 1, 2023, and juried results will be notified by email on August 11, and announced on the website on August 19th.

Portrait: Self and Others

Portrait: Self and Others

Deadline for submissions: Jun 12, 2023

Juror: Elizabeth Avedon

Prints due: Jul 20, 2023

Exhibition: August 8 - August 30, 2023

A great portrait reveals something of the depth, history, and emotional state of the subject, at least as captured in a single moment in time. Although many portraits zero in on the face, many fine images don't show the face at all, instead using light, gesture, context, and other nuances of expression to create an informative portrait.
