| Carnival
April
2nd - May 31st
Thursday to Sunday 10am - 4pm
Human
societies seem to need to break the day to day routines of life
by creating occasions for people to gather together to celebrate
and display, feast and frolic. Often it seemed that the frequency
and splendour of these events was most evident when there was
a great difference between the very rich and the very poor.
In
Christian countries, the time before Easter - Lent, was regarded
as a period for fasting, for ‘putting away the pleasures
of the flesh’ - the origin of the word Carnival: but before
Lent started there was a period of festivities - processions,
celebrations and feasting - what we now call a Carnival, the name
having slipped slightly as sometimes happens.
Aspects
of this concept CARNIVAL will be seen reflected in the works on
display.
