The Paper Mirror: Drawing Alison Bechdel
RT: 34 minutes
The Paper Mirror captures a pivotal collaboration between two influential lesbian artists, painter Riva Lehrer and graphic novelist Alison Bechdel (Dykes to Watch Out For, Fun Home), who discuss beauty, disability, queer culture, and representation.
