Construction of a Persona

Featured Exhibit

The exhibit is open from now through January 2025.

A self-portrait goes beyond a simple image, reflecting one's identity and how they wish to be seen by others. It can be abstract or symbolic, offering a way to explore different aspects of the self. 

Similarly, masks in various cultures allow people to adopt new personas in rituals, performances, or celebrations. Whether through self-portraits or masks, both provide opportunities to express and explore different identities and roles.
