The National Art Gallery of the Bahamas Curators’ Talk Friday, April 29, 2015 6PM The event is FREE and open to the public On Friday, April 29, the curators of EN MAS’: Carnival, Junkanoo and Performance Art of the Caribbean, Claire Tancons and Krista Thompson, will lead a discussion on the exhibition. The two will discuss the linking of performance art and street festivals with contemporary art. They will share details about the process that connected artists across many borders. Guests will be encouraged to think critically about the origins of particular elements of street festivals like carnival and Junkanoo that we often overlook, including the mask, the drum and the parade. The talk begins at 6PM and all members of the public are invited and encouraged to attend. For more information, visit the National Art Gallery of the Bahamas, here.
