"A mask behind glass can be appreciated as an artefact, but when it is worn on a face it becomes much more personal and dynamic." - ENACT was at the British Museum!
British Museum, London, 18 May 2026
On 18 May 2026, ENACT visited the British Museum with eight MA students studying TESOL, Intercultural Communication, and Museums and Galleries in Education. The session invited participants to explore Colombian masks through museum collections, online research, digital learning activities, creative making, and embodied performance.
"A mask behind glass can be appreciated as an artefact, but when it is worn on a face it becomes much more personal and dynamic. Wearing the mask brought the culture to life in a way that viewing it in a display case could not. Some meanings associated with movement, performance, participation, and identity only became apparent through the practical activity."
