CONTENT OF CHARACTER
"The Passage"
"The
Passage" represents a starting point for the shaping of the character of
African American culture. In many African cultures, masks have been used
to tell stories of historical events, adornment for warriors, and parts of
costumes for various festivals. Mr. Hunt's "the Passage" embodies three
masks representing the spirits of our ancestors who died during the
Trans-Atlantic journey from Africa to America (The Middle Passage).
Conceptually, "The Passage" focuses on
the idea that even though these ancestors did not make it to America physically,
the content of their character, (hard work, love, respect, honor, and strength)
survived the journey as it was passed on to their descendents born in America
and other countries along the way from Africa.
