Wes Chester here with an open call to my artistic friends: Please share broadly:

Be a part of my next music video.
I'm asking for 5-10 second clips on the theme "Where were you when the masks came down?" It's a song about what we have endured, the relief of emergence and the melancholy of what was lost In the pandemic, not only loved ones but jobs, relationships, businesses, homes... Laughter and tears, reunions and separations, the range of experience. Be real.
Video of taking your mask down, first hugs, first maskless selfies very very welcome. There may be a place for stills, not sure yet, but feel free to send...

iPhone/mobile video Is perfect, and shooting In landscape Is preferred but not required.

I have no money for the project, but I can promise you I will handle your material with respect and put you into a context that I hope you will treasure.

Email submissions to [email protected] or message them here. Please put Mask Project In the headline. By replying you imply permission to use your Images for the above purpose only. All other and permanent rights remain with the maker of the clip.

Thanks for the education Alessandra Moctezuma. Wish there were more photos of the work. The muralist movement is worth honoring, and one that is still dominated in the public’s mind by male artists. It’s so important to rebalance this narrative.

There is a diversity of works by Mexican and foreign women who were part of a muralist movement that radically transformed public art in Mexico during the 20th century.
