YORUBA MASQUERADES PERFORMANCES AND ASSEMBLAGES AS ART IN MOVEMENT AND TIME Abstract Yoruba masquerade performances and assemblages as art, in movement and time is an interesting theme for discussion as a scholar of visual culture. The aim of the paper is to examine the Yoruba masquerade’s performance and assemblages in art, movement and time. The methodology explored for this research is qualitative in nature, using literary materials, internet resources, descriptive, historical, and analytical. Conceptual framework adopted is Lamp’s theory on movement and time. The theory adopted for investigation can be appropriated for this study in the sense that, Yoruba masquerades ritual performances and assemblages as art, involves putting the masquerade together to move from one arena to the other at a given time, only for the ritual performance and the movement to be repeated again at another season in time. The authors concluded by drawing attention to the fact that Yoruba Egungun (masquerade) from the perception and analysis can be regarded as a composite art piece due to their traits, assemblages and performances. Keywords: Art, Elements, Masquerade, Makeup, Movement, Time. | Folabalogun,M,Muhammad,A. | 8(2) | Journal ofCeramics and Environmental Design,JOCED.ISSN:2505:0095 | 2021-04-09 | ||
