Arts Kuba

Show Statement

Arts Kuba is a collection of works created by Kuba artist Albert Bope and his ancestors. The Kuba Kingdom is in Central Africa in the Democratic Republic of Congo. For the people of Kuba, art plays a significant role. Carved wooden masks, sculptures and weavings are used to represent an individual’s status and to remember former rulers. These pieces are often produced using various parts of palm trees and are adorned with cowrie shells and animal hair. The Kuba people are also master weavers. Their textiles are made from palm fiber and many feature strong, geometric compositions.

Opening Reception | May 4th 6:00 – 8:00 pm

Show runs from May 4 – June 27, 2019.
