In Brendan Fernandes: The Living Mask, wooden masks from Burkina Faso, Congo, Cameroon, and Nigeria from DePaul Art Museum’s African collection are shown alongside his own work from the last decade. With photographs, steel sculptures, neon lights, vinyl installation, and dance, the exhibition considers authorship, authenticity, post-colonial histories, performance, and identity in relationship to how museums collect and display African objects.
