How is art like a mirror? What kind of mirror do you want art to be? Together, we’ll explore new ways of seeing yourself, your community, and your words by experimenting with reflective and transparent surfaces, stencils, paints, and found text. Inspired by Carrie Yamaoka’s
recto/verso exhibition, we’ll let mirror reflections stir our imaginations, making up new words, colors, shapes, and even images of ourselves and each other!
