The Ackland Art Museum has an exciting new photography exhibition on display: “Bill Bamberger: Boys Will Be Men.” Bamberger is a UNC alum who’s been examining American masculinity through this series off and on for 40 years, with portraits and audio recordings of male high schoolers; his latest portraits focus on students at Durham School of the Arts.

Aaron welcomes Bill Bamberger to the studio to discuss the project, along with Ackland associate curator Lauren Turner.
