New Publication
Pick up a copy at Agnes or download a PDF now and read what Qanita Lilla, Associate Curator, Arts of Africa has to say about With Opened Mouths, an exhibition of traditional West African masks, face coverings, hoods, helmets and crests from the Justin and Elisabeth Lang Collection. Remixed with contemporary work by Oluseye, With Opened Mouths interrogates the authority of the museum and its outmoded colonial practices by creating vital and embodied ways of working with/in collections.
The With Opened Mouths brochure is designed by Vincent Perez, Kingston and supported by the Justin and Elisabeth Lang Fund.
