Through Motion and Repose: Expanding the Walls 2026 features photography by the seventeen artists participating in the Studio Museum in Harlem’s youth program, Expanding the Walls: Making Connections Between Photography, History, and Community. The exhibition presents photographs capturing both dynamic scenes from New York City streets and intimate moments of home and family life. Through close observation, blur, soft focus, and detailed studies of people, objects, and places, the artists explore the tension between movement and stillness that shapes their experiences growing up in New York. The exhibition includes work by Agnes Baidoo, Angel Torres, Christopher Soriano, Fairooz Ahamed, Isabella Amankwa-Jones, Ismael Parache Henry, Janelly Rosendo, Jony Pineda Feliz, Jordyn Vargas, Keyaris Canty, Lalah Harper, Nathaly Lopez Alvarez, Nyasia Massey, Rijika Chowdhury, Stephanie Muñoz, Valentina Megraw, and Yoselyn Lucero.
