Behind the Mask Project Documentary
Vernon Public Art Gallery 3228 31st Avenue, Vernon, British Columbia, CanadaBehind the Mask is a community art project that highlights 10 special individuals in Vernon who have shared a vulnerable, beautiful exploration of the unseen sides of themselves. At a time when mental health challenges have affected so many of us—Behind the Mask is a story of hope, courage, and community.
Through a workshop process, the VPAG engaged with marginalized individuals in Vernon with Katie Green and a mental health support professional. They led participants through a series of workshops where masks were created through an intimate, story-telling process, creating an experience in which individuals from different community cohorts could come together in a shared experience, rather than existing in separation.
