Description: This is a very special year for us, and in the spirit of Carrying a 50 year Legacy of Justice, Joy & Resistance into the Future, we are counting on the community that has helped us build this legacy to invest in fueling the next chapter of CCCADI. [. . .]
Rooted in Afro-Caribbean histories, the exhibition traces Carnival’s evolution from rebellion to ritual, revealing how practices once born out of oppression have transformed into powerful expressions of freedom, creativity, and joy. Through layered environments that merge sound, texture, archival material, contemporary art, and interactive elements, visitors are invited to experience Carnival as a living, embodied language that moves through the body, memory, and time.
