#wemask

A digital campagne, a pop-up exhibition, a movie and a newspaper realized for Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden.

In the beginning of April 2020 we have created a stop motion movie with an easy instruction for a DIY mask for SKD Dresden. The movie was encouraging to make protective face masks for yourself, your family and also for those that may be in need. What started as a rapid response project in the time when museums were closed, developed to an online exhibition on instagram, a special edition of the Karuna Kompass street magazine and a pop-up exhibition in Japanisches Palais in Dresden. The project treated about masks in the context of design, ethnology, politics and culture and is available on @Kunstgewerbemuseum.skd (instagram)
