A cohort of graduate students is coming through who-- shook by the uncertainties of the COVID pandemic and forced into the disruptive environment of online learning, leaned into AI writing tools--are really struggling with the demands of doing original research. It is tough out there.

There are about 10 such masks, but none remains in the Democratic Republic of #Congo: 1.5 m tall & about 10 kg heavy - that is the truly monumental #Kakuungu dance mask.

In part 7 of their #MuseumOfStolenHistory series, @thecontinent.org tells its story: continent.substack.com/p/the-museum...
An updated version of the series' cover drawing showing a museum shelf with meanwhile seven objects: the wooden figure from episode 1 on the top left slot, episode 2's golden crown top centre, the Rosetta Stone from episode 3 in the lower left, right next to it the Okukor rooster from episode 5, episode 6's Cullinan Diamond above and episode 4's two taxidermied lions again to the right it, finally above them the Kakuungu mask.
