which represent an integral part of Benin&#039;s cultural heritage, as well as to highlight the rituals and traditions associated with them.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Mahungnon Kakpo said that masks are not just decorations or a means of disguise, but carry messages and symbols passed down through generations over time, explaining that every civilization has its own masks that reflect the ideas and values of its ancestors.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the festival has become international in character, as it is no longer limited to Beninese masks only, but opens the door to the participation of masks from other cultures, in a step aimed at promoting cultural dialogue and exchange between peoples.<\/p>\n<p>Among the visitors, tourist Martin Cruz, who has been staying in Benin for two weeks, expressed his amazement at the festival, confirming that he had discovered for the first time this rich cultural heritage, with its dances, costumes, hairstyles and rituals with deep meanings.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26317 size-full\"
