"Chokwe:Art and Initiation Amoung Chokwe and Related Peoples"
1999-07-03 until 1999-09-05
Baltimore Museum of Art
Baltimore, MD, USA United States of America

Kings, heroes, and rites of passage are celebrated with music, dance, masks, and sculpture by one of Africas most artistically rich cultures. Underscoring the BMAs commitment to profiling the arts of Africa, Chokwe! examines the contributions of the worlds second-largest continent to the history of art.

This fascinating exhibition explores the sacred rituals of the Chokwe people of Angola, Congo (Kinshasa), and Zambia and their ceremonial artwork from the last two centuries. About 150 exquisite objects–sculptures of ancestral chiefs, thrones, decorated chairs, beaded crowns, masks, ceremonial scepters, basketry, and ceramics–are on view. The exhibition is organized and circulated by the Birmingham Museum of Art, Alabama, with generous sponsorship provided by The Rockefeller Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
