Description
Phyllis Galembo: Maske is a collection of over 100 photographs documenting cultural and religious traditions in Africa and the African Diaspora. Phyllis Galembo has traveled extensively throughout western and central Africa, as well as to Haiti, capturing participants in masquerade events who use costume, body paint, and masks to create mythic characters. Galembo's portraits often blend entertainment and humor with darker themes, revealing the transformative power of the mask. This book features a selection of her best work, organized by country, along with her own commentary. Art historian and curator Chika Okeke-Agulu introduces the book, exploring how Galembo's photographs raise questions about the survival and evolution of masquerade tradition in the 21st century. With its unique blend of cultural documentation and artistic expression, Phyllis Galembo: Maske offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of African masquerades.
