Children’s Workshop - Masks within Masks

Artist Sarah Metzner will begin the workshop with a group discussion of selected works in the TarraWarra Biennial 2014: Whisper in My Mask exhibition, focusing on how the artists interpret the ideas of masking in many different forms, including how masks can both reveal and conceal identities.
