I’ll Be Your Mirror explores the mirroring relationship between art and self as well as art and communities, highlighting the role of art in achieving personal visibility and social connection. Art reveals who we are and the mirroring power of art is key to creating positive and meaningful representations of LGBTQ+ folk. This timeless examination is especially relevant when the freedom to express visibility is under mounting assault.
