SPRING 2016 GALLERY HOUSE PROGRAM
Masks of Courage: Defining True Identity
“Masks of Courage: Defining True Identity” an exhibition to honor the brave work of Natalia, her Foundation and supporters to heal scares, and to promote and protect the human rights of victims of chemical attacks, globally.
The exhibition will take the viewers through a journey that separates the sense of self worth from external attributes of identity, to ultimately confront them to the reality acid attack victims’ experience.
The show challenges the collection of attributes that defines how we see ourselves, and how others perceive us. Our face, body, language, relationships, what we wear, like and own, paints an image of who we are. But what happens when we take those things away? Who are we then?
The art curetted for the exhibition will be raffled, auction and sold, with all profits of the sales to go to the Natalia Ponce de León Foundation.
