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

A bluebottle sings its dirty song,   
His listening ears immune to the jazz.  
Koroba sighs in harmony with the fly, this long throat always need a wetting,  
Like dessert sands the water is never enough.  
Akin to the gods of the cattle rearers, he has no home.   
Home is where the heart is,   
The heart is where the white liquid flows,   
The throat is god and must have sacrifice daily.   
Oga  
Quick quick  
Gimme anoda calabash
