The New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) is set to unveil a groundbreaking exhibition titled “New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations.” This exhibition will showcase the works of four talented artists from various cities in West Africa: Chief Ekpenyong Bassey Nsa, Sheku “Goldenfinger” Fofanah, David Sanou, and HervĂ© Youmbi.

This unique exhibition delves into the world of contemporary West African masquerade, shedding light on the cultural, social, and religious practices that inform the artists’ creations. The intricate ensembles featured in the exhibition are crafted from a diverse array of materials such as wood, fabric, feathers, and cowry shells, offering a glimpse into the rich tapestry of masquerade traditions in the region.
