It is seen as a symbol of mystical spirits, wisdom, and knowledge…

The image of the owl has always been popular, and in African culture, it holds a unique position and symbolic meaning, with its large, round eyes being its main visual characteristic.

In art history, the owl has been an important theme, with rich representations from ancient to modern times. For instance, in ancient Egyptian art, the owl was regarded as a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and learning. In Egyptian mythology, the owl represented the god of wisdom, "Horus." In ancient Greek art, the owl was also seen as a symbol of wisdom and knowledge, being the messenger of the goddess Athena and representing wisdom and strategy.

In African culture, the owl holds profound meanings and symbolic significance. In some tribes, the owl is considered a symbol of wisdom and power and is also viewed as a guardian spirit.

This exhibition brings together owl masks from the Congo and Ivory Coast regions, featuring various forms of owl masks with different circular eyes—some are three-dimensional, while others have leaf-like shapes. Together, they allow us to experience the uniqueness and richness of African tribal art, adding a fun and dynamic element to the space.

With expressions that carry warmth, they instantly spark vibrant and engaging conversations.
