A conversation with Amanda M. Maples, Françoise Billion Richardson Curator of African Art at the New Orleans Museum of Art. "New African Masquerades: Artistic Innovations and Collaborations" is on view through August 10, 2025.
The exhibit, which will tour several American and African locations once its NOMA run concludes, is a model of cross-continental collaboration. Organized by NOMA and the Musée des Civilisations Noires in Dakar, Senegal, its planning team was led by Maples with co-curators Jordan A. Fenton (Miami University, Ohio), Lisa Homann (UNC Charlotte), artist Hervé Youmbi and core collaborator Aimé Kantoussan (Musée des Civilisations Noires).
