Marka-Dafing people reside in north central Burkina Faso. They migrated into the area from further north, bringing Mande-styled carving with them. They blended ideas about religion and spirituality, economics, education, and farming from the various cultures among whom they resided with.
Marka-Dafing Masks were used at important funerals to honor the deceased member of the family they are associated with. Thus it ushered the spirit into a long journey to the spirit world. Over time, these masks begun to represent ancestors who did good to the society. On these occasions, the masks embody nature or ancestor spirits that interact with human beings and influence their lives.
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.
