Behind this Mask: Celebrating Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore

This day-long celebration of the exhibition And I Saw New Heavens and a New Earth: The Partnership, Art, and Activism of Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore explores the sustained resonance of Cahun and Moore’s personal, creative, and activist partnership. The program’s title comes from a line in Cahun’s 1930 surrealist autobiography Aveux non Avenus (“Disavowed Confessions”): “Behind this mask is another mask. I will never be finished removing all these faces.” In this spirit, join a lineup of artists and writers in celebrating the ways Cahun and Moore used language, visual art, and personal expression to explore self-presentation.
