Carnival parades have always been vibrant, exciting displays of the visual arts and music in dynamic motion. New carnival traditions have been created as people have emigrated to other countries, including Canada, Great Britain, the US, Germany, and the Netherlands, to name just a few. Migrating carnival artists, like Clary Salandy, have taken the traditions and celebrations with them, celebrating the culture of their countries of origin as well as that of the new communities that they now call home. In an increasingly technological and impersonal world, carnival arts can bridge differences and celebrate human resilience and creativity.
