The organisers say the exhibition is a major way of reviving interest in Igbo culture, preserving the art forms, and situating them...
“The aim of the exhibition is to show that our culture is not evil and we should be proud of what we have.
“Masquerades sit as a portal between the living and the dead. In Igbo nation, we do not believe in the dead going away because we believe that people live forever. “So, this is me bringing our ancestors to join us in our festivities and in the day-to-day running of our communities. It is part of our sociocultural construct,” Mr Anagbado said.In a goodwill message, Enugu State Commissioner for Information, Chidi Aroh, commended the promoters of the exhibition.
Mr Aroh, who was represented by the Head of Publication of the ministry, Ossy Ogboso, said such a programme needed to be sustained for the sake of posterity.Since her inception, CFM has remained committed to documenting and showcasing Igbo history and culture. They have collaborated with museums, memory centers, and artists from across the globe to design and implement world-class exhibitions in different forms like audio, visual, and interactive sections.
