Burkina Faso Mask Festival - My Peace Corps Story

Masks are found across Sub-Saharan Africa. Used for both ritual and ceremonial purposes, masks are a key part of the traditional culture and art for many peoples of Africa. While you may view these masks as a man dressed in custom, tradition sees something much more.
