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

the face which had been foretold  
to ward off the evil that lives within us  
At dusk, when the sun had been deprived of its  
Shiny pride  
We hear your spooky cry from a distant hill  
With your eyes, blinking at malevolent footsteps in the dark  
And at the eve of hunting season, we mask your face  
to send the wild beasts away from near the community  
And lure the spirits of games.  
Nche, Nche n'eche uno

Nche #23
