The article explores the multifaceted nature of African arts, particularly focusing on the Yoruba tradition of the Egúngún masquerade, which symbolizes the reincarnation of ancestors. It recounts a personal connection between Professor Henry J. Drewal and Bode Oje, stemming from a photograph Drewal took in 1977 during his research in the Yoruba region of Nigeria. It reflects on the role of cultural "inbetweeners" in bridging insider and outsider perspectives in understanding African traditions, and delves into the sensory-rich experience of Yoruba masquerades. |
