Cloth face mask designed by Italian artist Andrea Mastrovito in partnership with CIMA.
In 2020 CIMA commissioned Italian artist Andrea Mastrovito to come up with a design for a face mask that would be made available for purchase to support CIMA’s fellowship program and our mission to make Italian art more accessible to a wide international audience. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Italy and New York City quickly became epicenters, forcing lockdowns and stay-at-home orders. The message behind the mask is one of positivity and humanity, citing Mastrovito’s work “Love is a Four Letter Word” in which an abstracted DNA filament made up of letters connects two people.
This is a cloth face covering, two-ply and has a ‘pocket’ that allows insertion of a PM 2.5 filter (filters do not come with the mask).
Care Instructions: Wash by hand or in washing machine in warm water with non-bleach detergent.
DISCLAIMER: Please understand that our face masks are not a replacement for medical grade Personal Protective Equipment, and in circumstances where medical grade Personal Protective Equipment is recommended, you should consult a health care professional. The decision to use this mask is solely your own.
Please remember that use of face masks is not intended to replace other recommended measures to stop the community spread of COVID-19, such as social distancing, washing your hands and refraining from touching your face. Follow the latest advice of the CDC and your own health care professionals as to how best to keep yourself safe.
