Public Open Hours

“The pandemic gave us a literal description of how masks can be used to help us but can also further stigmatize individuals experiencing homelessness. Each artist has used this question to explore the rich symbology of mask making and creative expression in the contexts of the modern world and the inner self. This collection invites you into a deeper conversation about persona and how we express our unmasked selves, culture, social inequities, illness and so much more.”
