BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The Brooklyn Museum presents “Disguise: Masks and Global African Art”, connecting the work of 25 contemporary artists with historical African masquerade, using play and provocation to invite viewers to think critically about their world and their place within it. By putting on a mask and becoming someone else, artists reveal hidden realities about society, including those of power, class, and gender, to suggest possibilities for the future.
