African Contemporary Masks Exhibition
At 12 Brass Street LLC, we believe in the power of art to tell stories, evoke emotions, and ignite discussions. Our journey begins with a remarkable exploration – the African Contemporary Masks Exhibition, a project that encapsulates the essence of our brand.
For this extraordinary exhibit, we commissioned the talented David Obi to create contemporary masterpieces inspired by masks from various African regions. These masks, while originally crafted in Africa by our ancestors, have found their way into foreign collections and Western museums over time. Our mission? To bring them back home, if only in spirit.
As a tangible result of this exploration, we present to you a visual collateral that reflects the heart and soul of the African Contemporary Masks Exhibition. Each stroke of David's brush and every color on canvas symbolizes a connection to our heritage, a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural treasures.
Dive deeper into this thought-provoking journey by visiting our online exhibition: [Link to Collateral](https://paintingsdrawingsofafrica.rsvpify.com/?securityToken=mWdVuj1qZZrcxUN832CIPaw7eT860I8O). Immerse yourself in the art, history, and the questions raised by this exhibit.
We're honored that Duke Magazine recognized our efforts in shedding light on this important topic. While we may have some thoughts about how it's presented online, we appreciate the recognition and the platform it provides for our mission.

A Special Thanks to TailorO4W
None of this would have been possible without the generous support of @TailorO4W, who graciously provided us with their cozy coffee shop space for this event. They opened their doors to residents, making our exhibition an integral part of the community. We're grateful for their partnership.
This is just the beginning of our journey, and we invite you to join us as we continue to explore, celebrate, and honor the rich cultural heritage of Africa through the lens of contemporary art.
