The author, Pavel Shlossberg, argues that these performances serve as a means for Indigenous groups to address contemporary sociocultural and political issues, including responses to crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. The catalogue features interviews with local mask makers and performers, highlighting their roles as knowledge producers and guardians of cultural practices, while also addressing challenges posed by neoliberalism and environmental degradation. Shlossberg's work encourages a deeper understanding of the dynamic and adaptive nature of these dances, which are integral to the communities' spiritual and social fabric. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
