The 2016–17 Teen Advisory Board organized the Akari Teen Event, focusing on Noguchi’s experience as an American artist of Japanese heritage. Using Akari as a symbol of Noguchi’s dual-identity, high school students were invited to create lanterns that shared something about their own identity. The event featured an Akari making workshop and installation space, video projections, a free draw wall activity, snacks, and an Akari scavenger hunt through special exhibition Solid Doubts: Robert Stadler at The Noguchi Museum. Throughout the year, TAB members participated in activities to learn about the work of Isamu Noguchi and the behind-the-scenes aspects of museum operations. For instance, they met with Museum staff members, took part in a stone-carving workshop to learn about Noguchi’s sculpting process, and visited his 10th street studio. TAB also went on off-site visits to other museums, such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, where they attended Open Studio For Teens on the first day of the Biennial.
