What's On
Bacchanal - Le We Be Free

The exhibition looks at the historical roots of Caribbean Carnivals, which were developed by enslaved people introducing drums as a link to their African heritage.
The centrepiece of the exhibition is a drum created by artist Ashanti Harris as part of a recent performance event, Dancing a Peripheral Quadrille. The show also features related artworks from the University's Museum Collections as well as archival material exploring carnivals in the Caribbean as well as Dundee's own history of carnivals, fairs, masques, and pageants.
The exhibition has been curated by researcher and artist Cat Dunn, a PhD candidate at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design.
