Hundreds of years ago, thefollowers of the Catholic religion in Italy started the tradition of holding a wild costume festival right before thefirst day of Lent. Because Catholics are not supposed to eat meat during Lent, they called their festival, carnevale— which means “to put away the meat.” As time passed, carnivals in Italy became quite famous; and in fact thepractice spread to France, Spain, and all the Catholic countries in Europe. Then as the French, Spanish, andPortuguese began to take control of the Americas and other parts of the world, they brought with them their traditionof celebrating carnival. The dynamic economic and political history of the Caribbean are indeed the ingredients of festival arts as wefind them today throughout the African and Caribbean Diaspora. Important to Caribbean festival arts are the ancientAfrican traditions of parading and moving in circles through villages in costumes and masks. Circling villages wasbelieved to bring good fortune, to heal problems, and chill out angry relatives who had died and passed into the nextworld. Feathers were frequently used by Africans in their motherland on masks and headdresses as a symbol of ourability as humans to rise above problems, pains, heartbreaks, illness — to travel to another world to be reborn andto grow spiritually. Today, we see feathers used in many, many forms in creating carnival costumes. In many parts of the world, where Catholic Europeans set up colonies and entered into the slave trade, carnivaltook root. Carnival celebrations are now found throughout the Caribbean, in Central and South America, and inlarge cities in Canada and the U.S. where Caribbean people have settled. For African people, carnival became a way to express their power as individuals, as well as their rich culturaltraditions. Carnival arts offer all of us a dynamic tool for self-expression and exploration, a tool to seek out ourroots, a tool to develop new forms of looking at the world and its cultures, and finally, a tool to unite the world, todiscover what we all have in common, and to celebrate what makes us different.
