About this Event
"Mirror" was originally exhibited at The Everard Read Gallery in Johannesburg, South Africa, and holds special significance as the merit award winner of the Everard Read Art Award. This captivating exhibition invites viewers to contemplate the continuum of cultural heritage, as depicted through video portraits of Penn's father and ink drawings.
