Masks are the face of culture.
Every culture has produced masks. But each mask tells a distinct story. Some carry the power of divinities. Some remember ancestors. Some identify stage traditions. Some amuse. We have asked our Apprentices to study masks that someone in their family might have created or worn.
• Japan: a mask in the Noh Theatre tradition.
• Puerto Rico: a demon mask with Spanish and African ancestors.
• Israel: a stone mask for ancient rituals
• Benin: a mask to honor ancestors
• Then construct an elegant stand to display your treasures.
