Claire Beckett — Engage!

Claire Beckett and the Boys & Girls Club of Asylum Hill

Teens at the Boys & Girls Club of Asylum Hill worked with MATRIX 163 artist Claire Beckett and teaching artists Rita Lombardi and Lawrence Roy to produce a series of photo portraits inspired by Beckett’s MATRIX 163: Simulating Iraq exhibition. The portraits were exhibited in shows at the Wadsworth Atheneum, The Hartford, Bin 228 and the Boys and Girls Club of Asylum Hill.
