MASKS – Faces of Us – Pop Up Exhibition
Saturday, 16th November / TAPAC Center / Western Springs 3:30 pm – 10 pm
RITUAL- ARTISTIC ENCOUNTER is a collective of professionals, artists and organisations with the mission to engage diverse ethnic groups, new migrants, refugees and other underserved communities through art, aiming to promote social inclusiveness and cultural pride.
This year RITUAL AE invites you to dive into the captivating world of MASKS. In addition to visual artworks from local and international artists with diverse cultural backgrounds, we’re showcasing an evening filled with live traditional and contemporary performances, theatre play, educational talks, contemporary and folkloric dances, live music, and interactive virtual installations.
From ancient rituals to contemporary society, Masks have been used for various purposes throughout history, including in ceremonial, theatrical, religious, and practical contexts
helping humans transcend universal challenges and emotions.
They often serve to conceal or transform one’s appearance, allowing wearers to adopt different identities or roles. Similarly, in the modern world, the persona is the mask we wear for social conformance and approval and amidst the glitter of media profiles and the weight of societal masks the quest for authenticity becomes a profound testament to inner strength and truth.
Don’t miss this unique experience! Join us on this enchanting journey through the artistic world of masks!
