In this historic, one-night-only event, internationally acclaimed artist and Mount Holyoke alumna Joan Jonas will direct a reconfigured staging of her groundbreaking 1969 and 1970 performances, Mirror Piece I and Mirror Piece II.  

Mirror Piece I and II were the first in a series of time-based works that established Jonas as a leading figure in the field of performance art. Motivated by feminist ideas, the works explore gender hierarchies, the power of the gaze, and notions of perception and representation. At Mount Holyoke, Mirror Piece I & II: Reconfigured (1969/2018-2019) will be performed by students who are pursuing majors in the visual and performing arts.
