Our 22 featured artists identify as living with a mental illness and the strengths and challenges that brings. When our artists chose this theme, they not only talked about the masks we are required to wear to protect against Covid…but they also talked about the metaphorical masks they wear on a daily basis to protect themselves from being bullied, ignored and ostracized because they are different. </span></span></h2> <h4 dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:Montserrat"><span style="font-size:18px"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/betterunite-com/image/upload/c_limit,f_auto,q_auto,w_750/v1/orgs/BreakingtheSilenceNewMexico/campaigns/f0ee44a9-75db-4f62-b3f5-0497bf2ffc85/y6xohmoo0rxoqhxvp9t3" style="height: 536px; width: 450px;" /></span></span></h4> <h4 dir="ltr" style="text-align:center"><span style="font-family:Montserrat"><span style="font-size:18px">Daniel Romero, #6780, acrylic on canvas, 24” h x 20” w, 2019 </span></span></h4> <h2 dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:Montserrat"><span style="font-size:18px">During this time of extreme isolation, the artists reflected on how their art helps them to stay connected to one another and to their surrounding communities.
