Mask 4 Mask is a participatory workshop around the topic of queerness. The workshop started out as interviews with four different individuals about their identity and different challenges they face off regarding it. The title of the project was inspired by the usually toxic preference of naturally masculine queer men only being attracted to, or seeking, other masculine men — “Masc 4 Masc”. Such preferences usually exclude other types of queer identites and force one to mask their actual identity expressions. Therefore, the second part of this project was bringing those four people together in a workshop where each created their own clay mask in relation to their identity and conversation they had with me and amongst each other. This whole process was documented photographically and turned into four small publications that contain the interviews, as well as close up photography of each mask. After one reads the interviews and starts unfolding each publication they are able to see the mask of each participant.
