Todd Drake is a North Carolina community-based painter and photographer. His exhibition "Esse Quam Videri (to be rather than to seem): Muslim Self-Portraits" includes 20 portrait photographs and several interactive posters from a series he created in collaboration with the sitters. They are portraits that challenge stereotypes and, by presenting "real reflections of self," ask viewers to reflect on the construction and construal of identity.
