A mask can tell a story, change an identity or hide someone completely! In many cultures, masks are integral to important ceremonies, celebrations, and rituals. In Haiti, Jacmel's Kanaval is best known for their playful papier maché masks of animals, political figures and mythological creatures.
In his Art on the Plaza installation, Christopher Mitchell considers the power of Haitian folklore as lessons on environmental harmony and reverence. This month, the artist invites us into his work with a public mask painting activity. Decorate your own mask, and then join us afterwards for an evening of JAZZ at MOCA.
