NEA grants Museum $50,000 for Dogon Now: Masks in Motion

January 7, 2010

The grant was awarded to support the touring exhibition Dogon Now: Masks in Motion, with accompanying catalogue and education programs. The exhibition will present and interpret the evolution of Dogon (Mali) mask dancers and sculpture that have, over the years, assimilated modernity into traditional forms.

This exhibition will bring over 100 objects together to bring 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. It will open at the Museum's new home on Museum Mile in 2012. Image: Polly Richards.
