Maske by Phyllis Galembo

Phyllis Galembo’s interest in the masquerade traditions of Africa and its diaspora began twenty five years ago, with her first visit to Nigeria. Since then, she has travelled widely in west and central Africa, and regularly to Haiti, making portraits that document and describe the transformative power of the mask. Her subjects are participants in masquerade events, both traditional African ceremonies and contemporary fancy dress and carnival, all of whom use costume, body paint and masks to create mythic characters – sometimes entertaining and humorous, often dark and frightening, and always powerful and thrilling.

Madona and Ex Votos, 1909, Our Lady Church, Achrafiyeh, Beirut.

An Ex Voto (latin term, short for Ex Voto Sscepto: from the vow made) is a votive offering. It is given in fulfillment of a vow or in gratitude or devotion. Miniature silver and golden crowns, a symbol of the royal status of Mary, Mother of God and “Queen of Heaven”, have been offered as Ex Votos to this icon of hers in this popular christian shrine in Beirut since 1909. #shrine #sacredplaces #sacreddestinations #sacredbeirut #livelovebeirut #living_cities #levant #christian #christianity #orthodoxchristians #orthodoxy #sacredart #iconography #icons #byzantium #mybeirut
