Throughout history, people have viewed makeup with suspicion and compared it to wearing a mask, a mask behind which – in particular – a woman would hide.

Today, make-up has become a multibillion-dollar industry that nonetheless confronts us with our physical impermanence, imagined imperfections and existential fears. But make-up is also a means of personal expression, artistic experimentation and freedom.

This exhibition presents work by make-up artists and visual artists who delve more deeply into such themes as the representation of women, physical and digital face filters, distorted body images and the ritual of making up.

Practical information:

  • This guided tour is suitable for secondary and post-secondary school groups
  • Maximum 20 people per group, accompanied by maximum 2 teachers/supervisors
  • Duration: 60 minutes
