“Disguise: Masks and Global African Art” – at The Brooklyn Museum of Art

Isi Mask

Disguise: Masks and Global African Art” is on display at The Brooklyn Museum of Art.

This exhibit:

“connects the work of twenty-five contemporary artists with historical African masquerade, using play and provocation to invite viewers to think critically about their world and their place within it. By putting on a mask and becoming someone else, artists reveal hidden realities about society, including those of power, class, and gender, to suggest possibilities for the future.”

At our galleries, Hemingway African Gallery has some exceptional masks.

We posted about a number of their masks before.

They also have these amazing ones:
