Includes bibliographical references (pages 254-257) and index.An exploration of contemporary African masquerade that reveals its cultural contexts, artistic innovations, and intersection with museum collection practices. By placing masquerade at the forefront of contemporary African art, this volume shows how masquerade is a dynamic and urban phenomenon shaped by shifting global concerns. Essays examine the lack of institutional recognition offered to present-day masquerade artists and the methods used to curate masquerade art at the museum level. An international group of scholars and artists explore the motivations and creative decisions of masquerade artists, highlighting their stories and providing a nuanced understanding of masquerade as a contemporary expression of human experience. This lavishly illustrated study includes more than 150 images, artist's biographies, in-depth analyses of masquerade ensembles in relation to themes of collaboration, economics, and meaning, and a discussion of the methodologies for ethically commissioning and acquiring masquerade art.- Subjects: Exhibition catalogs.; Masks; Masks; Masks in art; Masks in art; Masquerades; Masquerades; Art, African; Art, African; Arts, African; Arts, African;
