ABOUT THE EXHIBITION—

A Two-Way Mirror features works in glass by international contemporary Black artists who use this material to explore social, cultural, gender, and racial identity. Due to its reflectivity and translucence, glass is an especially effective medium to examine notions of identity as in the theory of double consciousness presented by W.E.B. Du Bois in his seminal work, The Souls of Black Folk. Curated by Jabari Owens-Bailey. Organized by Museum of Glass, Tacoma, Washington.

FREE and open to the public!

This exhibition is made possible thanks to the generous support of Truist Bank, Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass, Ms. Mary Hale Corkran, Ms. Alexandra Rosen and Mr. Donald Cooney, Ms. Vicki S. Kinser and Mr. John Jarnagin,Mr. and Mrs. Jan Peters, June and Rob Heller, and Tommie Rush and Richard Jolley.
