Join us for a presentation centered around the cultural experiences, interests, and research of faculty members Sandra Mefoude-Obiono (FRIT), Mauricio Acuña (SPANPORT), Clifford Campbell (AAAS), and Marie Larose (FRIT) as they share information on the celebration of Carnival from the perspective of various communities. This presentation will also provide insight to the importance of Carnival season connecting to economic growth for communities, Carnival's connection to politics and social justice, as well as the ways that music, playing mas/processing and the imagery found in Carnival spectacles deliver greater messages that are more than just glitz and glamor.
