Overview
Candy Gonzalez and Symone Salib's project, "You Are My Other Me", will include a series of virtual trauma-informed restorative art workshops that center queerness and self-exploration, particularly for QTPOC communities. These workshops will also lead to a collaborative public art installation that is conceptualized during the collective self-exploration process. The central theme of the mural will be queer healing and self-determination.
