It’s Time to talk #CarnivalBodies!

We’re kicking off the Bacchanal with this first question. What really comes to mind when you think #CarnivalBodies

We’ve seen some responses about what you think of when you hear Carnival Bodies. Do you think of body positivity too?

So based on the responses to question 1 we’ve seen people say what they think of when they hear Carnival Bodies... What about the costume designs?

A lot of responses on what you associate with Carnival Bodies have alluded to this... What do you think of Mas Band Models?

We’ve been speaking about inclusion and diversity in Carnival. How can persons with disabilities be embraced by the movement?

Is Carnival a safe space for Trans persons and non-binary people in the Caribbean? How can Carnival be more inclusive and safe for them?

We’ve seen responses alluding to this as well. Does Carnival promotion impact body image?

@NSKL_ mentioned that costume design for persons falling out of the norm felt like an afterthought. Do you feel the same way?

We’re looking for personal perspective. Have you ever faced difficulty feeling included in a Mas Band?

Have you given criticism to your Mas Bands? How have they responded?

BONUS QUESTION FOR THE TWEETERS! Are men included in the Carnival body positivity movement? How can they be more included?

Our Final Bonus Question of the Day

To our revellers, all good things must (at least the fresh questions) come to an end. Thank You for joining us today. Keep engaging with the questions that we’ve posted and keep the conversation going. Check out the link in our bio for more info on our CFS project and themes.
