Peeking Behind the Mask | Weatherspoon Art Museum
1 - 4 p.m.
Saturday, September 24
Each day we go about our routine lives, but inside we are superheroes or explorers, pirates or rock stars, hiding our secret identities behind a mask of an unassuming face and daily clothes. With the backdrop of Weatherspoon's current exhibition, "Persona: A Body in Parts," we'll explore our own secret identities and "peek behind the mask" of famous folks (real or fictional) to imagine their thoughts and lives. One way to enter this secret world is to write a persona poem – persona meaning mask – in which we give a voice to that alternate identity. Join poet and novelist Valerie Nieman in the Weatherspoon lobby for a drop-in poetry experience for all ages. In addition, use a variety of materials to create your own magnificent mask to wear. At 3:00 pm we'll celebrate with live improvisational jazz and a spoken word sharing. Don't miss this high-energy exploration of hidden realms of the self.
Weatherspoon Art Museum is also open Sunday, September 25, 1-5 p.m.
For more information, call (336) 334-5770 or click here.
