Last spring, Juliana Biondo was a high school junior, merely learning about art. But this fall, she has gone from student to teacher. The 17-year-old is one of the first high school students chosen to co-curate an exhibit at Baltimore's Walters Art Museum, a portrait show that explores themes of race, class and identity over the centuries. One of 12 students chosen to collaborate on the exhibit with a renowned Chicago photographer, Dawoud Bey, Biondo had a hand in selecting the drawings, paintings and photographs that will be displayed during the two-month run of Portraits Re/Examined: A Dawoud Bey Project, which begins Saturday.

The cameraman for the underground Stop Snitching DVD that cast a national eye on witness intimidation in Baltimore was sentenced yesterday to 30 years in federal prison after a jury convicted him on drug and gun charges. Shortly before receiving his sentence, Akiba Matthews-Bey, 35, of West Baltimore, told a federal judge that he was being singled out by authorities because of his involvement with the DVD. Matthews-Bey said that the creators of Stop Snitching never thought it would become as significant as it did when it hit the streets four years ago and that because of its popularity, he became a target of law enforcement.
