May 30, 2026 2:00PM-5:00PM Masks in Motion: Ivory Coast at Malcolm X Park

 

West African Mask in Motion Community Series

Journey into the vibrant masking traditions of Ivory Coast— where rhythm leads, movement speaks, and the mask becomes a bridge between community and continuity.

This immersive gathering brings Ivorian mask traditions into motion through live drumming, mask performance, and cultural interpretation rooted in respect and authenticity.

Presented as part of Sira: A Virtual Museum of West African Masks and Their Stories, this experience is not only a community encounter — it is also part of the museum’s creation. Live filming and documentation will take place during the event, capturing the movement, sound, and communal energy that will become part of the evolving Sira virtual museum.

By attending, you are not simply witnessing tradition — you are contributing to the living archive that Sira is building.
