A special shoutout to Eloiza Montaña and Santiago Cianci for their collaboration 'Cosmogony,' at our 'Ritual AE / Masks Faces of Us 2024.

This interactive installation invited participants to explore the wonders of the universe through a unique sensory experience. Eloiza's multidisciplinary vision combined with Santiago's sound engineering expertise created an unforgettable journey, we were transported to another dimension as participants immersed themselves placing 13 luminous balls on the body and entering a world of darkness in a room filled with live sound and uv blacklight. It was a self-freeing, cosmic journey, and we're so grateful for this collaborative vision. Thank you for sharing your innovative project with us!

Remember Pedro Ilgenfritz's captivating presentation on masks at Ritual Artistic Encounters last November? He expertly traced the evolution of masks in theatre, from their ritualistic origins to contemporary practice, showcasing his deep understanding of their historical and cultural significance.

Pedro, leading expert in acting training methodologies and mask work, illuminated the technical aspects of mask construction and performance, emphasising their crucial role in developing actors' physical expression and connection to character. His research-based insights into mask dramaturgy and performance techniques offered a unique perspective on their impact on theatrical development.

We were incredibly fortunate to have his expertise. A huge thank you again to Pedro for sharing his invaluable knowledge and passion.

After a short break, we're excited to share a recap of Maya's insightful workshop that was held before our main exhibition last November 2024.

We explored the masks we wear and the identities we adopt, learning how to navigate societal expectations and connect with our authentic selves. It was a powerful experience, filled with practical tools and heartfelt discussions.
