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

There is a song stuck in my throat  
A poem dancing on my fingertip  
A culture I carry  
A name I bear  
A family I belong to  
A language I speak   
  
There is a history I'm unfolding  
The lines on my palm are maps  
Leading to caves where we buried songs on the wall  
I know enough not to call my belief in us a blind faith

Blind Faith #6
