The Black Art of Making Mas Ever wondered where the fantastic costumes at Notting Hill Carnival come from? Making Mas is an exhibition series that explores the history and development of Black British Carnival Arts. From the traditional, subversive themes and characters of old Mas to the exotic fusion of Afro-Caribbean and Latin inspired designs we see today. A display of masquerade costumes, images, and the backstage arts required to create this maverick art form.
The ground breaking exhibition developed in association with CAD-Net and The Islington Arts Factory. Following a successful launch as part of the National Big Draw Campaign, the Black History Exhibit will host events for schools and is open to the public.
