Why Mask by Claudia Alick features a sign with a prominent QR code that leads to a digital site full of photos of people wearing COVID safety masks and why they are wearing them. They are invited to add their own photo and reasons for wearing the mask. Jesenia is joining Claudia on the road to offer this piece to different venues in California. They produced a variety of versions of the sign with different colors and added personal paintings of people wearing masks. This is a group performance using technology, meditating on making spaces accessible and community care.
