A scholar’s portfolio tracing African ancestral masquerades through ritual performance, film, teaching, and fieldwork.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-12 issue.

Field notes

The portfolio connects a dissertation on ancestral masquerades with teaching and critical media practice, giving the subject several working contexts rather than treating it as a static archive. Its fieldwork material names locations including an Igunnuko masquerade shrine at Epetedo, Lagos, an ancestral screen at the National Museum in Onikan, and a Gelede display at the John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History. The site also records an Advanced Intermediate Yoruba course and a New Nollywood adaptation article listed as under review.
