Ceremony and Society

Description

People across the world engage in a wide range of ceremonial rites and spectacles. Some of these are religious, others political or social. Through these practices and the arts that accompany them-costumes, masks, vessels, ancestor figurines, altarpieces, staffs, and other objects and images-people across cultures define identity, build community, express belief, negotiate power, and attend to the physical and spiritual well-being of both individuals and societies.
