DID YOU KNOW! Omabe in Nsukka culture also serves as security agent. It is truthful and just and does not intimidate anyone. It is all powerful and doesn’t attack the innocent and weak. Rather, it takes pride in protecting all. Society is today threatened by many forms of insecurity. If we emulate the tenets of the Omabe we will have a better and secure society. . . . . . . . #opensea #web3 #metaverse #art #digitalart #photography #africa #culture #melanin #black #space #metaverse #snow #winter #peaceofmind #collection #digitalcollectibles #meta #afro #africanmasks #blackart #viralvideos #fyp #viralpost #instagram #viralvideos #iwd2023 #women #society https://www.instagram.com/p/CqH6mSKD_vm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Afro-Mech Mask series no.3 The Afro-Mech Mask series both celebrates the beauty and significance of Ancient African masks and embraces Afrofuturism. This work is a testament, that no matter where you are within the diaspora you can persevere, prosper and thrive. Yes, I went HARD on the Jack Kirby influence.

Fascinated by this Dan / Wobé Initiation Gebande Beggar Mask that is a part of our latest African art and artifacts collection. Brian has been lovingly adding details to each of these items, and learning about them is certainly fascinating. Pieter Jan Vandenhoute, author of “Classification stylistique du masque Dan et Guéré de la Cote d'Ivoire occidentale” (1948), distinguished two large groups of Dan Masks: the Gebande and the Genome. Gebande is the most sacred examples of Dan Masks while Genome is a lower rank of Masks. The classifications relate to the content which the Dan attribute to the Mask, rather than the appearance of the Mask. Gebande Masks can be divided into a series of subgroups and categories, and this particular example is a Beggars’ Mask, whose primary purpose would be to be used in the collection of offerings for ancestors. Hand crafted in forest wood with a decoration of cotton fabric, inlaid with cowry shells and bells in bronze, this example is a true beauty. To read more, see additional pictures, and arrange a viewing or purchase, please follow the link in our profile! #danmask #danmasks #danpeople #danwobe #wobe #wobemask #wobemasks #gebande #cotedivoire #ivorycoast #africanmask #africanart #dantribe #africanartcollector #cowrieshell #mask #learn #maskcollector #decorate #decor #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise (at Beads of Paradise NYC) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj51th6v6r1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A mask by an unknown artist from the Ivory Coast, circa late 19th to early 20th Century, seen at the Pace African & Oceanic Arts booth at the Salon Art + Design fair. The label reads “Unknown Grebo / Kru artist.” #africanmask #africanart #mask #grebo #kru #ivorycoast #paceafricanandoceanicart #pace #salonartanddesign #thesalonny #nyc #artfair (at Salon Art + Design) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClM-teQM6aD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

¶Nwata buru Mmanwu anyi (When the child becomes our Masquerade) A child has been born with various talents, these talents are charms the child has been armed with by Chukwuokike. He grows into a world as scary and strange as it is and if the child must succeed he has to tame his charms, hone his talents and conquer the world. The result; this child is either celebrated or rejected by his own people. If he comes out victorious he belongs to the entire village and maybe to the world but should things go south he belongs his mother alone. At the end some would see a Monster and some would call him a god but this was just a child who became a Man. ©2022 •Brush pen on paper IGBOBINNA EZE . . . . . . #igbobinna #nsukaseries #igbo #art #uli #Nsibidi # #storytelling #brushpen #lineart #drawing #contemporaryart #igbo #nsukka #minimalism #africanart #igboart #folktales #stories #africanmask #letter #linear (at Igboland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgXNsl3DexW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Reposted from @vanitart.souad New vibe. New series. "Harm0notony". Feeling off. Sometimes. In harmony. Perhaps. Routine brings monotony. Jaded. On repeat. A circle. Different from a linear vision of time. Off beat. Rythm is life. Off time. Timeline. As a part of it. Of it all. Of all of it. If you feel sometimes as much off beat as you feel perfectly aligned with the world, as a complete paradox that makes you feel so alive. .
