The JSU Department of Art recently opened “Instrumental Avatars,” an exhibition that presents research into a selection of masks and musical instruments from Central and West Africa in the Department’s permanent collection. The exhibition explores the significant role of masquerade and music in various cultures, and it celebrates masquerade as a contemporary cultural expression. “Instrumental Avatars” is available for viewing in JSU’s Johnson Hall Gallery throughout September. Check out this recap from the opening reception. #JacksonState #JacksonStateUniversity #HBCU #THEEiLove #art #music #AfricanArt
