Blurry photo!

This figure is part of the current exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum,
Disguise: Masks & Global African Art. It was an eclectic mix of some very modern pieces, techno, fabric, photos.  It was fun to meet an old friend for lunch at the museum's restaurant and then poke around and see what the museum had on exhibit.  I didn't have my camera, just my phone, so the shots I took weren't very good. 

From the show's description:  

Enter a new mask—one for the 21st century: it’s startling and joyful but also serious and menacing. When our experiences become difficult or curious, how do we confront what can’t be explained?

One option is to shake it out by adopting disguises and staging a masquerade.

Contemporary artists from Africa and of African descent explore this impulse by filling the galleries with inventive avatars and provocative new myths, taking us on mysterious journeys through city streets and futuristic landscapes.


Disguise: Masks and Global African Art is curated by Pamela McClusky, Curator of African and Oceanic Art for the Seattle Art Museum, and Erika Dalya Massaquoi, Consultant Curator.
