Often, casual observers tend to generalize \u201ctraditional\u201d African art, but the continent is full of people, societies and civilizations, each with a unique visual culture. The definition may also include the art of the African Diasporas, such as the art of African Americans. Despite this diversity, there are some unifying artistic themes when considering the totality of the visual culture\u00a0from the continent of Africa.<\/p><h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Our Exhibits<\/h3><p>In addition to our permanent collection, Sankofa Children\u2019s Museum of African Cultures will offer a range of ever-changing exhibits\u00a0on African art.

Masks are important elements in the art of many peoples, along with human figures, often highly stylized. There is a vast variety of styles, often varying within the same context of origin depending on the use of the object, but wide regional trends are apparent; sculpture is most common among \u201cgroups of settled cultivators in the areas drained by the Niger and Congo rivers in West Africa Direct images of deities are relatively infrequent, but masks in particular are or were often made for religious ceremonies; today many are made for tourists as \u201cairport art\u201d. African masks were an influence on European Modernist art, which was inspired by their lack of concern for naturalistic depiction. Since the late 19th century there has been an increasing amount of African art in Western collections, the finest pieces of which are now prominently displayed.<\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-586982e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"586982e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-60d9c0a\" data-id=\"60d9c0a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-97fd82d elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"97fd82d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\" \/><p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Our museum staff maintains the collection with great care, and new items are added regularly thanks to our generous donors.
