INTRO Geography Of The Masks | Exploring Cultural Diversity and Evolving Utilizations

Masks, integral to global cultures, symbolize diversity and heritage. From Africa’s wooden “Chi Wara” to the vibrant Kathakali masks of India, from Europe’s theatrical “Pantalone” to the spiritual “malagan” masks of Oceania, they all narrate cultural tales. In the Americas, indigenous ceremonies feature masks like the Tsonokwa, while modern uses extend to medical protection and artistic expression, reflecting the evolution of masks in the twenty-first century.
