Rooted in Ventiko's own recovery, Masks of Resilience drew on masking for survival and through Sylva Dean and Me, her fifteen year performance art project, participants were guided in building masks, constructing identities and sharing stories s tools for resilience in the face of addiction.
Masks of Resilience workshops were every Saturday in March
culminating in an exhibition and performance by Sylva Dean and Me at Cafe Oztara.
