Our virtual 2021 two-day In My Mind Conference hosted two virtual exhibitions featuring artists, community partners, and sponsors.
Resilience in Uncertainty
“Resilience in Uncertainty” is the collective art exhibition of the 2021 In My Mind Conference, and showcases 63 works from seven Queer and Gay artists, writers, musicians, singers, songwriters, Drag Queens, multidisciplinary performance artists, teachers, and curators who reflect on the 2021 Conference theme “Youth Wellness - Resilience In Uncertainty”.
Mindfulness
“Mindfulness” is one of the two exhibitions that run during the yearly edition of the In My Mind Conference. It acknowledges and honors the Conference’s sponsors and community partners, highlights their work, and bridges visitors with these organizations. The exhibition first opened in 2021 in a virtual gallery, while the In My Mind Conference was taking place online. “Mindfulness” showcases 36 sponsors and community partners supporting the Conference in 2021.
