SONDERISM is the sixth volume of a collaborative zine created by teens in the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver's paid, teen leadership program Point of View (POV).

Under normal circumstances, POV brings together sixteen teens from across the Denver area once a week for a semester to connect with each other through contemporary art and ideas at MCA Denver.

With the museum closed due to a stay-at-home order this spring, more than half of the regularly scheduled sessions took place in a digital space using video calls, collaborative documents, and a lot of enthusiasm.

Throughout the semester, POV partnered with local artists Emily Hope Dobkin of Betterish, Octopus Initiative artist Tya Anthony, Adรกn De La Garza, and Kevin Quinn Marchman of The Black Actors Guild. These local creative humans joined POV to introduce their creative processes and lead the teens through exercises reflective of their individual practices. A huge thank you to our partner artists, as they were instrumental in helping to pivot our programming to an online format.

The connections made to each other, local artists, and the museum sparked conversations and revelations, and inspired the work presented here.
