ReVisibility is a collaborative community portrait installation that transformed discussions around invisibility into moments of creative expression.
What about you is invisible? What do you wish others knew that isn’t obvious on a first meeting with you? What kind of things would change people’s assumptions about you if they were visible?
In other words, participants created portraits of themselves that symbolically/literally/spiritually revealed the ways they felt hidden.
The intention of the installation is to commune and dialogue with others. Also, to pause and grapple with the unseen in multiple modes of creative expression; honoring and recognizing the complexity for others that don’t feel seen or for those who are historically forced into hyper-visibility.
It is my deepest hope, as the facilitation artist, that participants take/took away a sense of being part of a beautiful and growing reciprocal art piece that seeks to reframe visibility in all its forms. I hope that this sparks meaningful dialogue with others and reminds us to center empathy in all that we do.
