Abstract:
Annual festivals marked by cultural rites, conviviality
and masquerading, the Igala Art and festival tradition has
survived as a living culture whose indigenous traditional
features have not been adulterated by contemporaxy developments.
In this study, the researcher probes the aesthetics contents
of the Igala cults, their evolving iconography, and the
potential of the festivals as a resource for further investigations
into the Art of the Igala. It could also serve as a source for
contemporary visual communication designs.
