"Masks of Becoming" is an exhibition of photographs at Gallery 1885. It features the work of Miguel Sobreira, a London-based artist born in Cape Town to Portuguese parents, who works across photography, textiles, sculpture and performance. He sews masks and veils from fabric and found materials, often appearing as the subject of his own photographs. The work explores identity, belonging, ancestry, family, ritual and the queer experience.
