The Bwaka mask is made by the Mbaka people of the Democratic Republic of Congo. They are a population of about 400,000 to 1,000 000. The Nbaka people are found at the South of the Ubangi River in Northern Democratic Republic of Congo. They speak the Mbaka language.
This African mask was modelled after a rare Bwaka mask from the early 19th century. Mbaka masks are called dagara. They are worn during and after ceremonies associated with the initiation and circumcision of young men. This is a ceremony to accept young boys into adulthood.
Today, the dagara mask represents youthfulness, newness and a new beginning. Life can be tough and we often fail several times. There is nothing wrong with ‘disappearing’ to developing your creative prowess and bouncing back with extraordinary agility for success. The Bwaka mask represents a new opportunity to make a change in your life.
Most African masks that were taken from the continent are now in the homes of private collectors and museums. The descendants of these mask makers do not have the privilege of seeing what their ancestors carved. Even though the masks were aesthetically appealing, they were functional to the tribes that used them.
African masks represent ideas that are still relevant today. I am making the most rare and most expensive masks available to new collectors in 3D. 50% of Proceeds will be contributed in setting up an Innovation Hub, in Ghana. This Innovation Hub will be a place where young creatives who are the descendants of these mask makers will come to, to develop their ideas and bring them to fruition using technology. Creatives will receive training material to develop their talents and creative abilities.
