The completed “Green Mask Project” exhibition at the Currier Museum of Art featuring four large scale Currier Totem sculptures and an array of identity masks made by the greater New Hampshire communities. ♻️ Green Mask Project is a multi-faceted eco-inspired social practice project exploring individual and collective identities through a combination of sustainable mask masking methods using recycled and upcycled materials. Green Mask is designed to help promote sustainability, social equity, diversity and inclusion through art making, sharing stories, building community and collective empowerment. ♻️ The identity mask workshops seek to challenge how we perceive ourself and thereby others in relation to place and environment. The final recycled mask creations become mirrors that invite the viewer to see themselves in the sameness we share, invoking connectivity in the sameness that we all share beyond social barriers. Green Mask project is a call for coexistence, for a more greener world in which individuals can unite in celebration of our distinctions and of our common humanity. #greenmask #greenmaskproject #curriermuseum #curriertotem #totemsculptures #eco #ecofriendly #ecoart #sustainability #sustainableart #socialpractice #identity #masks #recycledart #recycling #sharingstories #communitybuilding #collectiveempowerment #newhampshire #manchester #livefreeordie (at The Currier Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFYiU7LqHH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Currier Totem, Community Offering Mask The Currier Totem is an eco-inspired community building empowerment project about individual and collective identities consisting of 4 large ring mandalas each representing one of the four natural elements (Fire, Water, Air, Earth). Since prehistoric times, the number four was employed to signify what was solid and balanced; it is a symbol of wholeness and universality, a symbol which draws all to itself. In this spirit, we invite the Manchester and greater New Hampshire communities to help build the totem using recycled items collected from Currier’s own recycling. Through symbolic material meaning, the inside of the mandala reflects the collective identity of our inner worlds while the outside represents the collective identity of our exterior self. The Currier Totem is reflects the diversity and values of the people that visit the museum, designed to protect the windhorse spirit of the museum and its surrounding communities whilst reflecting. Also know as “Wish Fulfilling Jewel of Enlightenment”, the windhorse is a symbol of the human soul in the shamanistic tradition of East and Central Asia. #currier #curriermuseumofart #artistinresidence #greenmask #greenmaskproject #socialpractice #communitybuilding #communityempowerment #ecoengagement #ecoinspired #ecoart #ecology #sustainability #totem #windhorse #recycling #recycledart #symbol #fourelements #fire #water #air #earth (at The Currier Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CktzJ4kviPq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
