About the workshop

From ancient rituals to modern carnivals, masks have always held the power to transform, protect, liberate, and connect. Across cultures and through the ages, masks have been more than objects—they are vessels of identity, portals to other worlds, and bridges between the visible and the invisible. In this workshop, we invite you to explore your many selves through crochet mask-making.

Inspired by the sociologist Erving Goffman, we recognize that life itself is a stage, and we are all performers. We wear masks every day, they help us navigate the expectations of others and shape how we are seen. But what happens when we consciously choose our mask, outside the scripts of everyday life and embracing our darkest sides?

This workshop is an invitation to

  • Craft your own mask using the technique of crocheting, drawing inspiration from myths, spirits, animals, or archetypes.
  • Explore the identities you wear - which ones are yours, and which were given to you?
  • Play with transformation, imagining who you might become with a different face.
  • Let out your inner demon, protector, or beast ;)

Masks have always held the power to both conceal and reveal. Through creating and wearing your own mask, you’ll explore the boundaries of yourself and the stories you carry. Let us come together and create a collective ritual to celebrate plurality, embrace fluid shifting identity and the playful dance of who we are.
