Boston, Massachusetts - Jan. 27, 2023: Student artist Sophia Vaz places her newly-made artwork on one of the walls for the "Stories that Make Us" exhibit, which recently opened at the Teen Gallery of the Institute of Contemporary Art Studio in Seaport. The space was filled with pre-made art plus, as the night evolved, immigrant teenagers of diverse backgrounds worked on small 3x3 mirrors using colorful markers to tell stories of their new lives in the U.S.
