Hudson Museum Mini Exhibit: Yaka Initiation Masks

Look in the CCA Lobby for the Hudson’s mini exhibit of African mask worn during the initiation ceremonies among the Yaka in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. These masks provide protective powers during the ceremony and also serve to introduce Yaka community values and morals to the initiates. Once the ceremony has been completed, the masks were usually destroyed.
