Masks are created to be in motion, transforming the wearer and those who interact with them. Help us
Masks are created to be in motion, transforming the wearer and those who interact with them. Help us set in motion, Disguise: Masks and Global African Art, our new exhibition of work that links contemporary and historical African masquerade on April 28 with an artist roundtable and performances.At 6:30 and 8:30pm, follow dancer Djassi DaCosta Johnson as she moves through our Double Take galleries, performing Brendan Fernandes’s piece, In Touch. The work uses costume and choreographed gesture to question how we interact with art in museums. Then at 7 pm, hear from artists Brendan Fernandes, Nandipha Mntambo, and Saya Woolfalk, joined by curator Kevin Dumouchelle as they discuss masking as metaphor—in art, in politics, and in imagining the past and future.Performances take place in the installation Double Take at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m.Posted by Lena Sawyer -- source link
