Discover Masquerade, Makeup & Ensor with a MoMu guide who encourages dialogue rather than the traditional monologue.
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, makeup has become a multibillion-dollar industry that nonetheless confronts us with our physical impermanence, imagined imperfections and existential fears. But makeup is also a means of personal expression, artistic experimentation and freedom.

Masquerade, Makeup & Ensor presents work by makeup 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.
The students were given a tailored tour and we continued to work on the topic in class. [...] Plenty of wonder and inspiration, but also very clear to our pupils.
