Why have carnivals in the first place?

Carnival is an anti-war and activist art movement that is not about party politics. It is not a protest movement in the sense of building bridges with power but aims to reorganize the very logic of our relationship with authorities.

Why Carnival?
The carnival is one of the oldest institutions in the world. In one form or another, it is present in every culture. It is usually thought of as just a large party but, more importantly, the carnival is an occasion for social renewal, where ordinary life is turned upside down, where social roles and identities are being changed. Employing music, costumes, sets, storytelling, comedy, and more, the carnival initiates a totally new social reality. That is why what starts as a carnival often ends up as a revolution.
