MASKS - Faces of usMULTICULTURAL POP-UP EXHIBITION
Exploring the multifaceted role of masks in human history
From nature’s masquerade through ancient rituals to modern-day significance, this polyhedric exhibition will take you across many time periods and different realms of mankind's social and creative experiences.
An enriching afternoon event featuring visual & plastic art exhibitions from local and international artists, live dance and music performances, theatre plays and educational talks to dive into the intricate world of MASKS.
Masks hold significant cultural and symbolic meanings for many cultures around the world because they help us to embody energies, hide identities and understand ourselves; even our own Egos/ Personalities can be seen as masks that we use to fit in society and relate to one another, sometimes even unconsciously, and lastly, the contemporary hypervirtual world with social media profiles, avatars and VR offers a multi space for re-signification and infinite possibilities of masking ourselves.

We believe becoming aware of these many aspects of human experience can help us to reconsider and reflect on the ways we see ourselves, socially interact, share experiences and intimately relate to one another.
Stay tuned and follow us on!!!
Participative Workshops and seminars on the theme will be held before the main exhibition!
