Dogon Now: Masks in Motion
This exhibition is available for travel for a 12-14 week period during Spring 2013|Spring 2014|Fall 2014
The Dogon people of Mali have created an extraordinary cultural heritage, deeply embedded in a beautiful yet fragile physical environment. Masks in Motion: Dogon Now brings to life the performative experience of Dogon masquerade as a living and dynamic tradition that continues to evolve at the turn of the 21st century. This multimedia exhibition integrates masks and related objects with videos of ceremonies and performances, as well as interviews and photographs. As will be seen throughout the galleries, the Dogon create representations of their society that draw upon the past to meet the challenges of the present.
