Masked is a fusion of art, poetry, music, chant and movement, performed by contemporary creatives from Africa resulting in 100 distinct expressions imbued with deep cultural meanings transcending human generations.

The collection is a collaboration between 1 Artist and 15 poets, resulting in 100 NFTs steeped in the cultures of Africa, its history and in the world’s present. The NFTs are hand drawn, digitally painted & animated illustrations reminiscent of and inspired by the age long curvilinear 'Uli' art form of Igbo ethnicity from Africa. 

The collections art is a visual expression of lines and colours couched in revolving layers of subliminal performance. It is a renaissance of an art expression that has always been part of the artists composition and mandate. 

Masked re-imagines and presents the mask-wearing culture found across Africa to a larger audience: the Web3 space.

Masked Culture

We are a sweet song,  
A ballad written on the shoulders of the royalty we come from,  
A poem carved from harmonies that ride on the rising and falling of the cries of our conquests,   
We write our destinies and carry them on our heads.  
We speak a tongue that defies logic,  
We call on the rain and it hearkens, we spin healing from mere plants,  
Children of the soil, an imagery of the ancestors,   
We are a reincarnation of gods.
