Disguise: Masks and Global African Art

April 29–September 18, 2016 - This exhibition connects the work of twenty-five contemporary artists with historical African masquerade, using play and provocation to invite viewers to think critically about their world and their place within it. By putting on a mask and becoming someone else, artists reveal hidden realities about society, including those of power, class, and gender, to suggest possibilities for the future.

Location:  Morris A. and Meyer Schapiro Wing, 5th Floor
