A peaceful protest in central London against the Syrian government handling of the recent unrest, which reportedly left over a thousand people dead and thousands more injured or under arrest. This photo demonstrates the importance of democracy, where citizens of all ages can have their voices heard and in this case, a mute respond of sorrow from a little girl.

“Mystery Mask” is currently on view in gallery 261a at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA). This minimal installation features a single object: a highly unusual 3 ½ foot tall mask from Nigeria about which very little is known. The mask is carved from wood, colored with pigments, and the mustache is composed of fiber and possibly hair. It dates to the second half of the twentieth century. The mask’s owner acquired it in Sokoto, a city in northwestern Nigeria. He was told it had been used in fertility ceremonies by the Tiv people, who live in the central-southern part of the country. The only known image

of a very similar mask was published in a catalogue on southeastern Nigerian art.

The curator is inviting comments about its origin and function from scholars worldwide

through an African scholars Internet forum.

As comments come in, they will be added to the didactics in the MIA gallery and posted on the MIA blog, The Bubbler, creating a participatory exhibition. The exhibition runs through December 18.

Faux ivory technique and then I used burnt umber acrylic paint for the patina. This was made using the "Tahiti Treasures" mold at: www.sweetbrierstudio.com/masks.htm

Studies for new masks, some came out kind of goofy, but they were instructive nonetheless.

Mask compliance in Columbia Heights seems pretty high lately, even the sculptures in front of rowhouses.

Masks are everywhere although not on people. Most are tourist tat and some a work of art.
