Reveca Torres, Mariam Pare, and Tara Ahern

Join us for the ‘Tres Fridas Project’ Exhibition – Opening Reception!

We will be debuting 16 works of art during the exhibition on Saturday, September 7th at Bridgeport Art Center. The pieces are recreations of iconic images in art, history and pop culture, featuring people with disabilities as the subjects.

The goal of Tres Fridas Project is to explore different facets of disability, changing perceptions along the way.

We cannot wait to see you there!
