Masks Are Designed to be Worn by a Select Few Case study: gelede secret society mask🎭🎭 Gelede secret society dancer wearing a traditional African mask, image courtesy of the Soul of Africa Museum Masks are reserved for specific members of the African community. Only a select few tribe leaders are endowed with the honor of being a mask wearer. They are almost always men, and often elders within the tribe, who have earned wisdom and respect over the years. When they wear the mask, tribes believe they become the spirit they wish to invoke. Women often help to decorate masks and their accompanying costumes, and sometimes they even dance alongside the mask wearer. Credit: the.collector🎭🎭🎭

African Masks Are Carved in Wood and Other Natural Materials. Most African masks are carved out of wood, although some have been made out of bronze, brass, copper ivory, pottery and textile. Wood is usually chosen partly because it is readily available for African communities. It also has a deeper symbolic meaning – carvers believe the tree has a soul that is carried through into the mask. In some tribes, the mask makers must ask permission from the tree spirit before cutting it down, and make an animal sacrifice in honor of the tree. Some masks are adorned with intricate detail and decoration, including elements of textile, shells, feathers, fur and paint. Occasionally masks are even splashed with sacrificial blood to enhance their spiritual force. The tools used to carve the wooden mask are also embedded with symbolic meaning and tribes believe the tools carry with them the skills and expertise of their previous owners. 🎭🎭🎭🎭 Credit: the.collector

African Masks Are a Living Tradition African funeral ceremony Funeral ceremony of a Senufo hunter in Burkina Faso, Africa, image courtesy of Soul of Africa Museum. Mask making is a living tradition that continues today. Amazingly, this tradition dates back many millennia, and the specific skills needed to create these objects have been passed on through many different generations. African tribal artists are always men, and they are trained for several years, either as an apprentice to a master carver. Sometimes a father shares his skills with his son, continuing their craft through the family line. These artists hold a respectable role in African tribal society, as the creator of such spiritually significant objects. Credit: the.collector 🎭🎭🎭🎭

In continuation of yesterday's lecture. African Masks Are Deeply Connected to the Spirit World. Although the Western world might look at African masks as works of art to be admired on the wall, it’s important to remember that within the communities that make them, these masks are primarily spiritual objects that are made to be used. Africans believe that wearing masks and using them during ritualized performances such as weddings, funerals and secret society initiations can connect them with spirits beyond the real world. During such performances, the wearer of the mask enters a trance-like state that tribes believe will allow them to communicate with ancestors, or to control the forces of good and evil.

African tribes believe these masks can provide a vital gateway into the spiritual world when worn during rituals and ceremonies, so they hold a special sacred significance. With so many of these masks now in museums collections around the world, and collected as works of art, it’s easy to forget the great cultural significance they have within the communities that make them. Soon, we'll be takinh a closer look at some of the most fascinating facts surrounding the symbolism and creation of African masks. Credit: @The.collector. 🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭

How to Choose the Right Face Mask for your profession. The type of personal protective equipment (PPE) your employees need can vary depending on the work they’re doing and the hazards they will face. Face masks and respirators cover people’s noses and mouths, reducing the airborne particles, vapors or gases they might inhale. Masks can also reduce the spread of particles a wearer exhales. Some types of work always require a mask or respirator, while others may only occasionally mandate a face covering. To ensure your team members have the appropriate level of protection on the job, it’s essential to choose the right type of mask. Learn more about the different masks available, what they do and how to wear them for maximum protection.🎭🎭

Mask is a covering for all or part of the face, worn as a disguise, or to amuse or frighten others. It can as well be worn over the mouth and nose in order to reduce the transmission of infectious agents, or to prevent the inhalation of pollutants and other harmful substances. Mask is our friend.
