Kennedy Museum of Art

Masks selected from renowned collector Ellen Hobbs of Hendersonville, North Carolina, and from the Kennedy African collections are displayed alongside large-screen projections of still photographs and videos featuring African performing arts. After more than 60 years of collecting, Hobbs owns hundreds of masks from all over the world, including more than 100 from Africa. The Kennedy African Collection includes art from the countries of Mali, Liberia, Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo. This exhibition draws on ceremonial masks from West and Central Africa.
