AS A FEATURE OF THE HORNIMAN MUSEUM LATE SERIES AND IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MARCH THEME, CYBERDANCE, THIS INTERSPECIES MASK MAKING WORKSHOP FOCUSED ON ENGAGING ATTENDEES TO REIMAGINE A FUTURE WHERE NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY INTERTWINE.

THROUGH A BLEND OF DESIGN FACILITATION AND SELF-DIRECTED EXPLORATION, ATTENDEES CRAFTED WEARABLE MASKS TO MERGE ORGANIC MATTER WITH FUTURISTIC MATERIALS IN AN EFFORT TO EXPLORE NEW IDENTITIES, TRANSFORMATION, AND THE EVOLUTION OF HYBRID BEINGS.

TO INCORPORATE SITE-SPECIFIC AND SECONDHAND MATERIALS, NATURAL MATERIALS WERE SOURCED ON-SITE BY THE HORNIMAN GARDENS TEAM, WHILE SYNTHETIC MATERIALS WERE COLLECTED THROUGH DONATIONS, WASTE BINS, AND CHARITY SHOPS.
