About Face

The black and white photographs of people depicted on the side of UNC's Hanes Art Center evolved from a student project tied to the university’s water theme. It stems from artist JR's Inside Out: The People's Art Project, a global participatory art project that collectively is aimed at changing the world. As such, each participant shares a portrait that makes a personal transformative statement about identity.
