These joyous celebrations of culture and community began as acts of resistance in the face of enslavement — a defiant stand from communities who refused to lose who they were and where they came from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDrawing from this rich and radical history, Aisling Serrant explores Carnival through one of its most vibrant and unmissable features: costume. First turned to by former slaves in the Caribbean as an act of reclamation and quiet resistance, with roots in West African and European masquerade alike, the colourful costumes of Carnival weekend remain a vital mode of self-expression, protest, and camaraderie. From Canboulay to Leeds and Notting Hill, the costume makers, wearers, and the communities they attract, embody Carnival in the spirit of an expression used across the Caribbean to signify unity among nations and peoples: all ah we is one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAisling Serrant has worked in cultural programming, community engagement and creative learning in a range of heritage and arts settings.
