Young People Meet-Up:
Exploring Multifaceted Identities through Masquerade
Guided by the artist and using masquerade as a creative medium, you will design characters and shape multifaceted identities.
Guided by the artist Holok Chen and using masquerade as a creative medium, you will design and shape multifaceted identities.
A few years ago, Holok Chen resonated with characters from a sci-fi film and has since masqueraded as an alien, bringing an extraterrestrial perspective to observe and learn from life in Hong Kong and redefining the meaning of living in the human world. Whether you are curious about masquerades but don't know where to start or want to understand the concepts behind it, this workshop provides room for exploration and sharing with the artist and other participants. Through visual symbols and associations, you will take the first step in creating your masquerade persona and expressing your multifaceted self.
Before the end of the workshop, M+ educator will lead you on a visit to the photography exhibition Yasumasa Morimura and Cindy Sherman: Masquerades, allowing you to learn more about two artists who also expressed themselves through masquerade and to understand the inspirations and expressions behind their works.
The Young People Meet-Up series encourages young people to explore and exchange their perspectives of the everyday through regular workshops, conversations, and talks.
