Although this year's West Indian American Day Carnival Association parade has been postponed until 2022, we're honoring the day through Dindga McCannon's painting West Indian Day Parade (1976) which captures the vibrancy and energy of the celebrations that have taken place in the streets surrounding the Brooklyn Museum since the mid-1960s. Rather than depict the locality of central Brooklyn, McCannon sets the parade (which she frequented in its earliest years) in a stylized landscape with patches of celestial blue sky and layers of earth that recall a pan-African heritage. Each elongated figure draws inspiration from the extravagant costumes and festivities that enliven Eastern Parkway.⁠

You can see this work on view in The Slipstream: Reflection, Resilience, and Resistance in the Art of Our Time through March 20, 2022.

WIADCA hosts mission-oriented activities - Caribbean Life http://dlvr.it/S1QW5h

[brooklynmuseum]

"Visual surprise is natural in the Caribbean," said the poet Derek Walcott in his 1992 Nobel lecture. "It comes with the landscape, and faced with its beauty, the sigh of History dissolves." He wondered if his work, rather than evoking the past, could contain "celebrations of a real presence." This sentiment is embodied in the mission of the West Indian American Day Carnival Association (WIADCA), organizers of the New York Caribbean Week and the annual Labor Day Parade. In anticipation of these (now virtual) events, this August we're highlighting artworks in the Museum's collection that explore the complexity of Caribbean identity and celebrate Caribbean culture and its diasporas.

New Waves! MAS Pop-Up Mas Camp at CaribBEING House, Brooklyn Museum. New Waves! MAS: “Blue Blue” - a Processional Performance for Labor Day Carnival 2018. Band Leader: Makeda Thomas. Designs by Tracey Sankar-Charleau, Sonja Dumas, and Jouvay Ayiti. In Partnership with CARIBBEING. In collaboration with Pagwah Mas and Dance Caribbean Collective. 

About the Band

New Waves! MAS 2018 Processional Performance presentation, “Blue Blue”, invokes the spiritual and cultural significance of the color blue - blue blue; blue devil blue; blue soap blue - in the Caribbean and throughout its diasporas. We play “Blue Blue” to represent the intuition, imagination and wisdom of diasporic people Caribbean people.

Section Notes

MIDNIGHT ROBBER

Derived from the West African Griot, the Midnight Robber’s “Talk” (a boastful, articulate, and rhyming catalog of the robber’s deeds, conquests, history, and various abilities that often approach the supernatural), whistle and wide-brimmed hat makes it one of the most recognized traditional carnival characters of Trinidad & Tobago. Robber Masqueraders often have a variety of skulls on their person, and have been known to carry weapons (knives, swords, and guns) and coffins.  In all cases, Robbers use a shrill “scout” whistle to punctuate their speeches and command the attention of an audience. Designer: Tracey Sankar-Charleau. **This mas requires skull and bones makeup. Get creative!

DAME LORRAINE

Another highly recognizable traditional Carnival character, The Dame Lorraine is the product of the masquerade ball of the French Aristocracy of the 18th century. It is a parody of the ruling elite; performed by both male and female; and is a collection of characters with different maladies that the French were observed to have developed through their leisurely lifestyle: ‘Monsieur Gwo Koko’- a man with large testicles,“Madame Gwo Tete’- a woman with huge breasts, ‘Monsieur Gwo Buden’- a man with a big belly, etc. She is very aristocratic in her movements as she moves around. The dance of the Dame Lorraine may “vary from a dainty chip or to a contemporary lewd, all on the ground jamette wine - keeping respectability in tact through wearing a mask. Designer: Tracey Sankar-Charleau. **This mas requires that your entire face be covered. No makeup required! You WILL be able to breathe.

BLUE DEVIL/FANCY JAB

Fancy Jab, a “new” Traditional mas character by Trinidad’s Tracey-Sankar Charleau; a cross of two characters…The ‘tory is:  A wicked blue devil fell in love with the buxom Dame Lorraine. Every Carnival he would peep and look for she, but she would run away from him. Dames doh mix with lower class people! One night, he tief her and covered her face so that she wouldn’t know it was him…and they made love…Months later, she gave birth…to the Fancy Jab. Designer: Tracey Sankar-Charleau.**This mas requires skull and bones makeup and blue body paint/spray/glitter. Get creative!

BETWEEN THE BLUE BEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA, WILL I FIND YOU OR WILL YOU FIND ME?

The riddle-like title plays on the traditional metaphor of facing a dilemma-filled choice (“between the devil and the deep blue sea”) and references two iconic features of my Caribbean space – the traditional blue devil masquerade in Trinidad and Tobago, originating from the Paramin hills of North Trinidad at Carnival time, and the Caribbean Sea, which surrounds the island-nations of the region. Designer: Sonja Dumas @Jouvay Ayiti
