Awesome Burkina Faso’s Festival of Masks

Photographer Anthony Pappone specializes in travel, portrait and photojournalism. Since a child he has had a fascination with history, far away places and tribes with ancient cultures. Over the years Pappone has documented ceremonies and festivals around the world with many recent journeys around the continent of Africa.
On Flickr and Behance you will discover numerous albums documenting these amazing events.
A recent series on Behance entitled The Spirit of Masks, highlights FESTIMA (Festival International des Masques et des Arts de Dédougou), a festival of masks that takes place every other year in the city of Dédougou in Burkina Faso.
