Masks have become our ultimate weapon of protest - international symbols of actions against power structures. An individual can be defeated or corrupted, but not an idea. Thanks to the mask, the individual can become the idea.

synopsis

We live in a time of crises and failing economic systems, so no wonder that questions of change are recurrent. Protest culture is having a revival. Every revolution has its icons. Nowadays, we see the mask emerge. In times of social media and hyper-individualising, when anonymity seems to be a right we have to reclaim, this is no coincidence. Masks have become our ultimate weapon of protest - international symbols of actions against power structures. An individual can be defeated or corrupted, but not an idea. Thanks to the mask, the individual can become the idea.
We leven in een tijdsgeest van crisissen, falende economische systemen en de constante vraag naar vernieuwing of hoe het anders kan. De protestcultuur is aan een opmars bezig. Elke revolutie heeft zijn iconen. Vandaag zien we in de media steeds vaker het masker opduiken. Misschien geen toeval, want in tijden van sociale media en hyper-individualisering lijkt anonimiteit een recht dat we opnieuw moeten opeisen. Het is zelfs het ultieme wapen van protest geworden.
