Call for creative responses
This is an interdisciplinary project, any medium is welcome.
A NEW ONLINE COMMUNITY IS APPEARING IN THE MEDIA, LINKING PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT STAGES OF LIFE AND BACKGROUNDS WITH A MYSTERIOUS AND TRIBAL FACIAL MASK.
1 in A Million You is research into what this phenomenon reveals about our identity and how we are shaped by the media – and in turn shaping the media.
We are interested in how you would interpret this, how you justify people’s interest in belonging to such a community, or what you think the mask, and the ‘tribe’ stands for. You can respond with any digital medium (images, videos, sounds…) , or any other medium that could be documented online (e.g photograph of a sculpture)
Visit the community’s website to explore the different ways in which people have taken part, and how the general audience is responding to the appearances.
