Moe’s Photography Collection

Send Moe a photo print! Moe is a sixth-grade student who has worked with KSMoCA in a variety of roles—artist, curator, lecture MC, documentarian, spokesperson, etc. Moe is also very interested in photography. As a project, KSMoCA has worked with Moe for over a year to help them research and develop a personal photography collection. As part of that, Moe has visited with galleries and museums, met with photographic artists and curators, and acquired a photo book library and a variety of prints.

KSMoCA is now asking photographers globally to add to Moe’s photography collection by sending a print of their choosing to Moe. The prints will be posted on KSMoCA’s website along with crediting information and comments from Moe. As Moe moves on to middle school and beyond, the collection will function as a personal cultural asset to assist Moe in various ways on life’s journey. 

Beginning in April 2023, if you or someone you know is interested in participating, you can send a photographic print to the address below: 

Portland State University
Attn: KSMoCA
2000 SW Fifth Avenue, #110
Portland, OR 97201

*Donated prints need to be appropriate for a sixth-grader and will be reviewed and approved before being given to Moe.
