Institute of Contemporary Art San José

A contemporary art museum in downtown San José.

Mirror, Mirror

December 10, 2019 by SJICA

Mirror, Mirror: Gender Roles and the Historical Significance of Beauty examines the politics of beauty, and artists’ investigations of the ways in which women and men are “constructed” by media and culture. The 17 artists in this exhibition address the objectification of women and the male gaze, responses to cultural ideals of body image, and the dynamic between sexual desirability and cultural morality.
