FAQ About Influence of Traditional African Masks on Modern Fashion
What is cultural appropriation, and how does it relate to African masks in fashion?
Cultural appropriation refers to the adoption of elements of one culture by members of another culture, often without permission or understanding of the original context. This concept is relevant to African masks in fashion when designers use African symbols or motifs without proper acknowledgment or respect for their cultural significance, leading to criticisms of exploiting cultural identity for profit or trend purposes.
