The MASK-WE Project

Every mask carries an artist's story forward.

MASK-WE is a women's economic empowerment initiative in southeastern Nigeria. Each hand-carved Gmelina wood mask brings together Igbo women's artistic traditions and the vibrant color language of Mexican alebrije art. Each purchase helps provide its artist with resources to start a small-scale business.
