Our Cultures Of Resistance Network is scheduled to collaborate/support FESTIMA 2018 :)

This festival is an example of the traditions, celebrated with frenzied music and dancing, as mask wearers are transformed into a spirit that communicates with ancestors.

FESTIMA is the largest International Art and Mask Festival in West Africa, it takes place in Dedougou, 250km west of the capital Ouagadougou. photo by JACOB BALZANI LOOV/AL JAZEERA (Festima)
