Carnival Hybrids: A Cross-Cultural Design Collaboration explores cultural hybridity through collaborative, practice-based design. Guided by Parsons First Year faculty member Gigi Polo, co-teachers Pamela Roskin (also First Year faculty) and Katia R\u00edos, and advisor Luis Rivas, Parsons students in New York collaborated with students from Chav\u00f3n, La Escuela de Dise\u00f1o (Dominican Republic), to explore two rich Carnival cultures and traditions. Carnival, whether in New Orleans\u2019s Mardi Gras or in the Dominican Republic, is a living archive of cultural identity, resistance, and celebration. Both traditions have African, Indigenous, and European roots, yet each has developed unique aesthetics, practices, and meanings. Students explore these rich traditions through a range of creative projects of their own. On display will be garments, an interactive timeline, graphics, an illustration, and an animated film. *The project has been selected to participate in the 2026 Dominican Carnival parades across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few representatives from Chavon will attend the opening on February 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
