Masks were common throughout pre-Hispanic cultures but of particular importance to the Mexican and Aztec civilizations. They were used during religious ceremonies and today continue to be used during festivals. With a mask over their face the wearer could become someone or something else. The selection of masks Tumi has are made from clay in workshops in Mexico, following traditional pre-Hispanic techniques. They are predominantly replicas of Aztec pieces.

The Dan tribe chiefly inhabits the Ivory Coast and Liberia where they arrived in the eighth century B.C. A loose confederation of villages totaling some 350,000 individuals, the Dan have spent much of their history battling neighboring tribes and sometimes each other. This gave the them a ferocious reputation as each Dan warrior sought "tin": individual prestige or glory. In former times "tin" was readily available through bravery in war; but the encroachment of colonial governments, and increased centralization has made tribal conflicts less common. Today's young Dan warrior is left to find his "tin" through other pursuits.

The Guro tribe (also called ?Guru? or ?Kweni?) inhabit Baoule in the Ivory Coast. 1906 marked a turning point in Guro civilization. Up to that point they had been protected from colonization by the dense forests which inhibited European encroachment. But in 1906 the French began to overcome these obstacles. The Guro reacted by becoming more nomadic. Living off the land and staying on the move, the Guro were able to evade complete domination briefly; but ultimately in 1912 they were colonized by the French. Since that time the Guro have turned to subsistence farming. Guro villages are not lead by a chief per se. A distinguished village elder may be designated to mediate disputes and serve as liaison to neighboring tribes; but that elder will lack the authoritarian powers of a true chief.

The Punu people of the east African nations of Cameroon, Gabon and the Congo produce some of the most strikingly beautiful masks in all of African art. The white faces of many Punu Masks are intended to ward off evil spirits and witches- and the tall hairdos typical of most Punu Masks signify that the woman is wealthy and thus never has to carry goods on her head

The Yoruba people live in Nigeria and Benin (formerly the kingdom of Dahomey), and number nearly 24 million people. Beginning around 1000 AD, the Yoruba built a thriving network of cities and trading routes. Many of those cities survive today, and much of the original societal structure is preserved. Yoruba kings, known as "Oba", are still considered sacred, and still live in palaces in the center of town, surrounded by the residences of their lesser chiefs. Echoes of the Yoruba can even be felt in the Americas in the form of Santeria. This religious tradition evolved in Cuba when the ritual practices of imported Yoruba slaves mixed with Christian theology of the new world. Santeria is still practiced today in many parts of the new world, and still retains it's recognizable Yoruba origins.

It was a great success. Over 7000 paying visitors saw the exhibition and a great many schoolchildren saw it free of charge. We haven't worked out quite how many children, at peak times over 260 were visiting the exhibition in a single day. The exhibition was followed on April 22nd 2000 by a parade of giants including several of the giants on display. At least another 1000 people saw the parade despite rain and wind which obliged us to reduce the duration of the parade and the number of giants taking part. Two brand new giants paraded with us, Joe from Hardyes School and Eli from Portland.

A selection of Mexican Masks from the collection of El Museo del Barrio, New York, has been specially chosen to accompany the Iturbide exhibition. Mexico has an unbroken tradition of mask-making reaching back more than three thousand years, when masks were used in pre-Columbian ritual, and survives today in villages of Mexico where dance is an important part of every festival. This exhibition marks the first collaborative venture between The Parrish and El Museo, which was founded in 1969 by a group of Puerto Rican educators, artists and community activists who envisioned an educational institution that would reflect the richness of their culture. El Museo is the only museum in New York city dedicated to Latin American and Latino art, and retains its strong community roots as a place of cultural pride and self-discovery.
