Mirror Project

During last year’s Youth Appreciation week, Montclair State shared with us their wonderful Mirror Project that was exhibited at the Public Library, Livingston Town Center and at Livingston High School. The Mirror Project focused on body image and asked students, faculty, and staff: “What do you see when you look in the mirror? The responses were funny, sad, shocking, and everything in between. Using diverse mediums, these self-proclaimed statements were put onto mirrors of different sizes, shapes and ages; some are cracked and flawed, some seem perfect.

This year, Livingston Youth and Community Services (LYCS) program, in collaboration with Montclair State, the Coordinated School Health Committee (CSHC) and HCHY Youth Appreciation Committee, plan on creating our own Livingston Mirror project. We invite Livingston middle school and high school students as well as parents to create their own mirrors around the question “Who Am I?” Identity is a core issue for youth as they grow into adult-hood. Identity is linked to values and is an important factor in decision making.

Once completed, the Livingston Mirrors will be exhibited during Youth Appreciation Week at various locations around town including the Public Library, Livingston Town Center and at Livingston High School. This exhibit will challenge people to think about how they perceive themselves.  For more information about the Livingston Mirror Project contact Susan Ridley at lycs@livingston.org or call: 973-535-2646.
