Workshop wonders XIX.
We never see our own faces except through a mirror but are constantly seen by others and see others’ faces. How does this make us feel? In the age of the Selfie and of COVID, we are questioning even more how we reveal and conceal our faces, the masks we put on and take off. Learn how to make a wearable mask and in the process, learn about the symbolism, seeing and emotions around the face and masking!
