UNMASKED explores the link between our thought world vis-a-vis the pressures women face in society as revealed in the art of Djakou Kassi Nathalie, Koromone Koroye, Nengi Omuku, Nyancho Nwanri, Queen Nwaneri, Reha Shishodia, and Somi Nwandu. How do we break down societal constructs on what it is and what it takes to be a woman? How do women present their true selves?

The art explores the concept of the female mental health and multi-layered self. It will reveal and inspire women to tear down facades often put up to survive and be found acceptable in a world that would rather behold the mask rather than the flawed, truthful self beneath the surface.  

In this exhibition, what is behind the mask will be revealed boldly, unapologetically, as we stand up and out for who we really are.
