Want to read what people said about Lauren Greenfield's Girl Culture exhibit?

We want to hear your voice.
Let's start a conversation.
It is virtually impossible to view Lauren Greenfield's subject matter without recognizing our own community in her photographs.
Evidence of media and pop culture influence on women and girls can be found everywhere, from the mall and coffeeshops to schools and locker rooms. Many of Greenfield's subjects could be our own daughters, wives, mothers, sisters, best friends, girlfriends. Her work can be difficult to look...
