Each intricate textile, black feather mask and abstract wooden sculpture featured in the Montana Museum of Art and Cultureâs âHomage to Africaâ exhibit tells the story of the diverse and rich cultures of Africa â a story historically misunderstood by Western society.
âAn exhibition like this can expose us to many different cultures and languages and artistic traditions,â said Rafael ChacoÌn, the director of the MMAC and an art professor at UM. âThe more we see of this art, the better informed we will be as citizens.â
