Masked is comprised of jewelers and object makers who explore the transformative properties and social and cultural signification inherit in masks and prosthetic devices. The works are either wearable or, in pushing the boundaries of adornment, imply wearability. These artists often employ photography or supplementary media to demonstrate the objects interacting with the body to produce subversive or amplified gestures.

 In conjunction with this exhibition, Holding House will host residents from Alternatives for Girls for 2 days of workshops where women and their children will be making, sharing, and talking about concepts of the exhibition. This workshop series is supported by the Puffin Foundation, Inc.
