Chris Rainier’s ‘Where Masks Still Dance’ at Bowers Museum

Chris Rainier’s photographs of New Guineans in the exhibition “Where Masks Still Dance” are among the most striking portraits of a distant corner of the world you’ll see for a long time. The traditional face-painting is intricate and haunting, and even more prosaic shots of locals hunting, worshiping and enjoying family life are both uncanny yet reveal a universal humanity. Bowers Museum, 2002 N. Main St., Santa Ana. Opens Sat. 10 a.m.-4 p.m. $12. www.bowers.org.
