Add Review/CommentMore than 100 makishi, or mask characters, figure in the remarkable masquerade traditions of a constellation of ethnic groups living in the 'Three Corners' region of Zambia, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Among the Chokwe, Mbunda, Lunda, Luvale/Lwena, and Luchazi peoples, makishi, which embody ancestral spirits, may assume human, animal, hybrid, or abstract appearances. This intimate exhibition focuses on 24 wooden masks, drawn from the collection of the Fowler Museum at UCLA, and explores the drama and complexity of the masquerades in which the masks are used.
