CriticalExposure  > Photography > Albuquerque
Critical Exposure partnered with the Intercultural Development Research Association and a group of high school students to document two segregation court cases: Brown v. Board of Ed. and Mendez v. Westminister. The students explored the ways in which the promises of the court cases have been fulfilled in their schools and how they remain unfulfilled.

CriticalExposure > ALBUQUERQUE PUBLIC H.S. Fatimah, IDRA/Albuquerque Public School District “This is a photograph of the new Albuquerque High building. I took this photo because I wanted to show that although we still have a way to go considering diversity, etc., facilities are changing for the better."
CriticalExposure > BASKETBALL Kayla, IDRA/Albuquerque Public School District “This is a picture of an integrated school coming together at lunch to play basketball. I took this picture to show how not only were the Brown and Mendez cases successful but kids play together willingly."
CriticalExposure > HALLWAY Jazmine, IDRA/Albuquerque Public School District “This is a picture of students walking in the hallway. I took this picture to show the diversity in our schools. This hallway is filled with students that are of many different backgrounds and cultures. This picture greatly shows how Brown and Mendez are being fulfilled.”
CriticalExposure > STUDENT HANDS Andreina, IDRA/Albuquerque Public School District “This picture shows how Brown’s dream was fulfilled and how we of all colors come together.”
CriticalExposure > CLOSED BATHROOM Fatimah, IDRA/Albuquerque Public School District “This bathroom has been closed, since the beginning of the year. This photograph depicts how quality of facilities is still unfulfilled since the Brown/Mendez cases.”
CriticalExposure > BROKEN FENCE Fatimah, IDRA/Albuquerque Public School District “This picture is of a broken fence in the back of my school. I took this picture for a couple of reasons. First of all the angle I was at was an interesting one and second I felt that this fence meant something and represented something to me. I saw something very symbolic in the shot and I wanted to capture that. Because the fence looks and appears to be broken, I felt that the fence represented and symbolized the promises desired from the Brown/Mendez cases. While they appeared to be fixed on the surface, if you look deeper or beyond the surface there is still much to be changed and fixed. We cannot continue to just attempt to mend those problems of which the cases fought for. We have come a long way but we have still have further to go.”
CriticalExposure > STUDENT ART Jazmine, IDRA/Albuquerque Public School District “This picture is unique in that it is of portraits drawn by students of themselves, showing the diversity in our schools and how we are mixing and sharing cultures with students of different backgrounds. This picture also shows how our schools are stepping up when it comes to the arts. Yes, Brown and Mendez are well fulfilled in this picture.”
CriticalExposure > MOLDY CEILING Jazmine, IDRA/Albuquerque Public School District “This picture is of my government class that has a moldy roof. The mess was caused by a leaky roof which is a problem in many other rooms and in the hallways. This is a way that the Brown and Mendez cases aren't being fulfilled, in that our schools aren't receiving [the support] they desperately need. I took this picture to show people that even though we set high standards that high standards may not always be fulfilled.”
CriticalExposure > SEPARATE TABLES Randa, IDRA/Albuquerque Public School District “These pictures were taken of a photography class. It shows how students are separate - there are tables for white students and other ones for African American students. They don’t interact together in class!”
