Kuba, Central Africa; Kasai region, Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Ngady Mwaash mask is a powerful symbol of women's essential contributions to Kuba society. Traditionally performed by men, this mask represents a woman and plays a central role in rituals and ceremonies. One of its most significant roles is during a pantomime reenacting the founding of the Kuba Kingdom. In this performance, the Ngady Mwaash dances alongside the Mooshamb-wooy mask, which symbolizes the king, portraying key events that shaped Kuba history. This dynamic storytelling underscores the interconnectedness of gender, leadership, and cultural identity in Kuba traditions.
