BOOKING: Booking essential, please book here.
Join us for En Masse, an eccentric blowout—a mix between the legacies of the Carnivalesque, and Mas Bands such as the Radical Mas Band (1983) (People’s World [formerly People’s War] Carnival Band) that emerged at the Notting Hill Carnival in the UK, which featured masqueraders who wore handcrafted costumes. This cultural practice, rooted in emancipatory and Caribbean traditions, is both ancestral and spiritual.
45 masquerades parade; DJs and open-air live music and poetry will play all night against the backdrop of an expansive garden.
