Launched by Art of Change 21 for COP21 and present at every COP since then with workshops and exhibitions, Maskbook mobilizes citizens around a strong symbol, the mask. Both an international collective work of art and a citizen action addressing environmental issues, Maskbook project gathers nearly 10,000 participants from over 40 countries.
Last December 2020, Maskbook partnered with the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement (link). Maskbook takes up residence at COP26 in partnership with Strathclyde University and Glasgow School of Art for a special workshop, on November 1st. Art students and citizens of Glasgow will create masks from waste materials and bring their voices to this participatory work. Registrations mandatory for Covid-19 health guidelines.
