Mask exhibit
Guess what! We're preparing something new... an exhibit of Bwa masks for the libraries... We've budgeted about four hundred dollars to purchase a small collection for the local maskmakers, and then the exhibit can be on display at each library for a couple of months. Many of the people in the villages have never seen the big Bwa masks, especially women from other ethnic groups. So it should be very interesting, and we will keep you posted. Interested in sponsoring something really special for the exhibit? Do send us a check, and we'll send you a photo!
