Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

"MIRRORS AND MASKS: Reflections and Constructions of the Self", organized by 11 student curators in a year-long 360˚ course cluster, considers the role of mirrors, masks, makeup, and masquerade in explorations of the self. This exhibition includes more than 50 works from the College’s Art & Artifacts Collection, including actual mirrors and masks, as well as works on paper, photographs, paintings, and textiles across the centuries and cultures represented in the Collection.
This exhibition, as well as its catalogue and programs, are supported by the Friends of the Bryn Mawr College Library, the Office of the Provost and its 360˚ program, Library and Information Technology Services (LITS) and its department of Special Collections and program in Museum Studies, as well as the department of History of Art.
