#inside out project

THIS WEEK AT THE MUSEUM: Join us at the Inside Out Project Photobooth truck from 9/9–9/11 in Theodore Roosevelt Park to have your portrait taken and your stories heard in anticipation of Climate Week NYC! 

Marking the ten-year anniversary since JR launched the Inside Out Project, our facade will feature 138 portraits—one from each country that has participated in the Inside Out Project over the last decade.⁠ ⁠ The Inside Out Project is a participatory platform that gives individuals and groups the ability to make and install large-scale black-and-white portraits in public spaces. Over the past decade, more than 400,000 people have participated in Inside Out “actions” around the world, each dedicated to an issue chosen by the contributors.⁠

Inside Out Project Honors Essential Workers

Celebrate our new exhibition JR: Chronicles and join the 400,000+ people across the globe who have had their portrait taken as part of JR's Inside Out Project. Stop by tonight from 5:30 to 9 pm—first come, first serve—to take part in this very special community photobooth action and you may show up on our walls. Be sure to also post your beautiful portraits using #mybkm and #jrbkm and you may end up on our feeds too!

In conjunction with JR: Chronicles, we are working with JR’s studio on a series of murals throughout Brooklyn. Like with JR’s other projects, we are collaborating with community partners to make these possible, from the identification and selection of walls to the selection of imagery. We are planning a few murals related to The Chronicles of New York City, JR’s new monumental mural featuring more than 1,100 New Yorkers, as well as several Inside Out actions over the course of the exhibition, including many in partnership with New York City schools. Our first one was at our October First Saturday, and is installed on our Plaza. 

JR community murals continue in Bedford-Stuyvesant Brooklyn with another @insideoutproject action with the students at Brooklyn Academy of Global Finance, Bedford-Styvesant, in partnership with Councilmember Cornegy’s office and school officials⁠.⁠
