Collaborations is an Access and Community Education program that celebrates photography and encourages cooperation and teamwork between Houston-area high school students as they create an exhibition from beginning to end.

Now in its sixteenth year, Collaborations XVI included 16 students from 13 Houston-area high schools who met every week for 15 weeks over the spring semester at HCP or at partner organizations such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the University of Houston, and the Contemporary Art Museum, Houston. Throughout the program, the students met with experts in the field of photography including professional photographers, archivists and librarians, collection managers, and educators to discuss exhibition concepts and planning, critique photographic work, learn about various careers, view works of photography in person, and participate in lectures and discussions.

Collaborations XVI: a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined is a culmination of these sixteen students’ creative exploration of their self-chosen theme–fear and anxiety.
