Free Third Thursday x ICP Teen Night
Join us during Late Night ICP for Teen Night! Explore our current exhibitions and get your portrait made by Jai Chavez and Marilyn Elisabeth Leal. Later on, Teen Academy students Heaven Murphy, Rónán Selby-Curran, and Torence Sealy join photographer Steven Molina Contreras in conversation.Torence Sealy is a Brooklyn based photography student. He was born and raised in the Bronx, where he first started taking photography classes with ICP at The Point in 2022. In his work he uses 35mm film and Polaroids to connect with his community and explore newfound friendships with the people he meets throughout New York City.Rónán Selby-Curran is a current ICP student from NYC. He enjoys photographing nature, wildlife, landscapes, reflections, shadows, different environments and conditions (i.e. rainy, snowy, foggy, sunny, cloudy, overcast, etc.), transportation and architectural cityscapes highlighting the geometry, angles and textures in different lighting. His love for the outdoors started in the Adirondacks at 6 months old, hiking, snowshoeing and paddleboarding. His formal introduction to photography began in the autumn of 2019 at a Queens Botanical Garden pinhole camera workshop, leading to B&W classes at ICP at the Point & Teen Academy. His work has been exhibited in various parks during Photoville Festival in NY for the past 5 years and in San Francisco’s 2021 Presidio "My Parks Moment" exhibition celebrating the reopening of the Presidio Tunnel Tops.Heaven Murphy (b. Brooklyn) is a multidisciplinary artist using photography as their main medium. Murphy is currently a senior, majoring in art at the High School of Fashion Industries expected to graduate in 2025. Murphy has previously completed the B&W film photo course for social change at The International Center of Photography in 2024, thus leading her to be a part of this 2025 cohort of ICP Imagemakers. From Murphy’s adolescence she took pictures for her mother and sisters which caused photography to reel her in like bait on a fishing pole. Through these enriching experiences, street photography and portraiture came naturally to Heaven. Murphy aims to sharpen her technical skill set whilst defining her creative practice, pushing her images and creating meaningful stories.Steven Molina Contreras (b. 1999, San Salvador, El Salvador) is a photographer living and working in Brooklyn, NY. He received his BFA in Photography and Related Media from the Fashion Institute of Technology. His work focuses on themes of migration, portraiture, labor, and divinity. He does this by collaborating with his family and reflecting on their history in El Salvador and New York. He has been a visiting artist and lecturer at a number of institutions including NYU, Stanford University, Pratt University, The Fashion Institute of Technology, Bard College, and Marble Hill Camera Club.Third Thursdays at ICPOn these special evenings, the third Thursday of each month from 5–8 PM, we welcome our community into the museum for no cost.
