About This Event

The event Unmasking the Mask: A Story of the African People will take place at Chapter Arts Centre on September 13, 2026. Attendees can learn about African mask symbolism and tradition for a price of £5.04.

Unmask the stories behind African masks with artist Adeola Dewis—symbolism, tradition, conversation. Interactive.

The African mask is never just an object. It's a language — of ancestry, spirit, ceremony, and identity.

In this interactive workshop, artist Adeola Dewis unpacks the stories, symbolism and traditions carried by African masks, guiding participants through their meaning and cultural power. Expect close looking, open conversation, and space to ask the questions you've always wondered about — why masks are made, what they represent, and how they continue to shape African art and identity today.

This is a workshop built on dialogue and discovery, not a lecture. Come curious, leave with a deeper understanding of one of Africa's richest art forms.
