Mirror Bridge co-creates a peaceful commons through the language of art, the closest means we have to universal exchange. We share art, in all its forms, as inquiry, medicine, connection, and restorative action. We honor art as a balm that soothes the wounds and affirms the awe we all experience as living beings.
Mirror Bridge is organized by artists, healers, educators, cultural workers, and community organizers, for anyone to engage and everyone to explore. We weave spaces of care and nourishment, make experiences of wonder, spark individual imagination, and alight collective consciousness.
Together—by offering independent practices, in person gatherings, a free library, sustaining memberships, and more—we will build and participate in a reality that honors all beings and cares for all cultures.
Our inaugural program is a free public library. This openly accessible multimedia portal will offer curated art/works, approaches to healing, and interdisciplinary creative expressions, primarily through dynamic web-based platforms. Hopefully, a kind of borderless sanctuary for shared reflection and regeneration, inside and out.
Every contributor who makes Mirror Bridge is supported for their participation. Cooperatively, we grow sustainable shared resources, including time, space, funding, and fellowship. Our
experimental framework / concept paper imagines how we may grow and evolve, and it will remain a work in progress.
A social benefit hybrid, Mirror Bridge operates as an independent LLC and with a nonprofit fiscal sponsorship via Fractured Atlas. Women-led, Mirror Bridge is co-directed by Julia Mandeville and Maria Manuela. We are based in New Mexico and collaborating beyond borders.
