The Biombo mask is one of the most ancient African masks commonly seen through a number of religious rituals within many tribes across the continent.

The particularity this mask has is its traditional craftsmanship, the art of mask making in Africa is not a skill given to everyone, but rather passed down generation to generation through a very specific selection method, as those who craft these masks are believed to have a special connection with the spirits. Traditionally carved into wood, the Biombo mask appears in many different variations across Africa. This mask references and is inspired by humanistic features such as the hair style typical of Congo.

BIOMBO // FAMINE
Zimbabwe was once the breadbasket of southern Africa. However, for a number of years, economic and political problems have compounded the impact of drought for ordinary rural communities.

Millions of people have been faced with dwindling food supplies and rocketing prices. Families have been going hungry. Even when the rains arrive, the ongoing lack of support for farmers and lack of affordable seeds and fertiliser means that the country can only meet around 25 per cent of its needs.

But Oxfam is working with the UN's World Food Programme to help feed more than 253,000 people in three districts of Midlands province, one of the most hard-hit areas of the country. We have distributed rations for the month of 10kg of maize (which forms the staple of the Zimbabwean diet) per person plus 1 kg of pulses and 0,45 litres of cooking oil.

For people like Sindire Jiri these staple rations are more than welcome: "I can now feed my family. I'm so happy. We've only had one proper meal in the last three days. The rest of the time we've eaten wild fruits and vegetables that aren't even ripe." In addition to dealing with the immediate needs, Oxfam has also been helping to provide seeds for winter cropping, fertiliser and pushing for greater investment in agriculture to prevent a future crisis.

TASK: I have to combine the dimensions found at the top of the post, with the text and visuals Meryem has supplied to me to create the booklet. The following are several flip books documenting the different ways in which I have chosen to layout the hot dog folded leaflet.
