Carnival in The Dominican Republic
Ivan Erickson, a native of the Dominican Republic, is currently a citizen of the United States whose goal is to spread his passion of Dominican art, specifically the art of Dominican mask making in the United States, specifically in the New York region, receiving support from the The East End Art Council, The NY State Council on The Arts,The Huntington Arts Council and The New York Folklore Society. Erickson’s work is particularly demonstrative of the prominence of a very cultural staple in the Dominican Republic: ‘The Carnival’. Each February, the Dominican carnival is an expression of independence and freedom, a recurring celebration of the nation’s independence on February 27, 1844. Throughout the country, but particularly concentrated in Santiago and the surrounding areas, ‘El Carnaval’ takes place every Sunday as seemingly the entire village partakes in a parade filled with music and individuals dressed in costumes: “The creativity of the people is manifested in the chants that the characters exchange with spectators, in the costumes of all participants and in the themes chosen by the proud clusters of participants in every parade. Carnival has become a popular celebration that encourages complete family participation” (Erickson).Although the purpose and excitement of each parade seems to be the same throughout, each parade is certainly expressed different in every region, some maintaining a unified theme in song or costume. Arguably, what truly unites every parade is the tradition’s origins in Spain, the same nation whose Dominican’s independence from is what is celebrated at the parades: “In the case of Spain, where carnival is celebrated mainly in the south of the country, many towns , such as Cadiz, celebrate with elegant processions and parades with colorful, bright and elaborate costumes. In most regions in Spain, carnival is celebrated the week before Ash Wednesday. The streets are filled with costumes and floats” (Erickson). For many of the people who partake in these parades, as is true in the Dominican Republic, El Carnaval is a sense of liberation, not only celebrating the liberation from Spain, but a liberation from self- a break from tradition, order, and a monotonous lifestyle, replaced with a fun, nontraditional, unanimous expression of joy.
