Artists question the meaning and politics of portraiture in “Mirror Mirror” at the Paul Robeson Galleries at Express Newark. State of the Arts was there for the opening, meeting artists Tatyana Fazlalizadeh (“Stop Telling Women to Smile”) and Leo Selvaggio (“URME Surveillance“), two of the 32 international artists and one artist collective featured.

Also featured is a “Selfie Portraiture” workshop led by Newark-based artist Kevin Darmanie, whose comic book works (“Master of Reality” and “Kendar”) are featured in “Mirror Mirror.”
