Mirror Mirror presents an exhibition of photography, collage, & film works. Referring to the well-known phrase of the evil stepmother in the Brothers Grimm version of Snow White, the exhibition title conjures ideas of representation, magic, power & narrative. The full phrase “Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?” is steeped in racial & gender politics, where the word “fair” is synonymous not only with beauty but implies the superiority of light skin & physical beauty as a woman’s highest achievement. With the works in this exhibition the curators counter & open up a dialogue about these embedded values.
