It is not uncommon for demonstrators to take mirrors to the front lines of protests as a tool that, through otherness, raises awareness against the violent acts of the police. The mirror is also found in the restrooms of nightclubs where, in a process of curative transgression, we leave a message for the other anonymously in that intimate moment when no one can see us, while looking at the hands that slide the pen on the glass, in the reflection, it is like writing to ourselves.
For the Agora Festival, the visual artist Panmela Castro raises a wall of mirrors that is at the mercy of the public and its desires. The participatory work is vulnerable to the spontaneous interventions of passers-by without there being any stimulus for this, only the primitive instinct of each one of us to scribble on the walls with what we want to talk about.
