Adding A Face
Maya Campbell, 20

‘Adding A Face’ is a short poetry film that was conceived through looking back to the ancient practice of mask masking, especially that of my Jamaican and Nepali heritage, and their cultural and spiritual function through a contemporary lens.

Masks have been taken from Africa and put into European galleries – into stasis and symbolic death. Through activating my masks I aim to deconstruct the position of the 'Other' in Western culture and celebrate belonging to multiple cultures, retaining a connection to your roots and celebrating permeable identities in a post-Brexit society.
