A dynamic look at the potential of disguise seen in masks, installations, and performances by contemporary artists of African descent

While masks are a major art form in many parts of Africa, their use has taken new turns in the 21st century. Disguise: Masks and Global African Art explores how themes related to masking and disguise in the past are now transitioning into new platforms around the world. The authors examine the influence of masks residing in the Seattle Art Museum’s renowned collection, investigating the longevity of masquerades, and how they offer ways to disrupt and reimagine reality.
