All year long we’ve been disguising, revealing, and transforming ourselves, and now it’s almost time to take off the mask—Becoming Another: The Power of Masks closes on February 8, 2016. From poems to films, writing classes to shamanic workshops, we hope you have had a chance to “become another” in our mask-filled year.
“Behind every mask there is a face, and behind that a story.” —Marty Rubin, author
Check out photos from the past year’s unforgettable mask-filled activities and some of our favorite masks from the exhibition:
