“IMatter” Project: Voices
"IMatter" Voices initiates vital dialogue between generations. Youth featured in “IMatter” installations are invited to candidly share their compelling stories. These insightful, private listening experiences, excerpted from long-form interviews, offer an opportunity to learn about issues facing today's youth, directly from teens and young adults.
