!Carnaval! October 1, 2011

The exhibit explores the history, traditions, arts, and meaning of Carnival celebrations around the world, providing windows into eight communities in Europe and the Americas where Carnival is a high point of the year. The Burke will augment the music, masks, costumes and videos of the traveling display with a centerpiece installation of giant Carnival puppets created in the tradition of northeastern Brazil by Seattle-area artists affiliated with Brazil Center.
