Digital Flash Mob
Submit a postcard with your carnival and junkanoo memories.
Get involved.
Submission Period: DEC 26-Feb21
Digital Junkanoo is designed to be public facing and participatory from its inception, and the idea to collaborate with digital global publics came to us early in the planning stages. We came to do work.
Submit a Junkanoo or Carnival Collage in the format of a virtual postcard
Between Dec 26 (2022) - Feb 21 (2023), bookended by the season of Junkanoo and Carnival, submit a postcard featuring a collage and your favorite carnival story or memory. Be creative. Inspired by Mina Loy: Navigating the Avant-Garde, we are hosting a digital flash mob. Whether from the Notting Hill Carnival, Cropover, or Carnival in Brazil, submit a festival recipe or something that reminds you of the sensorial experience of celebration in the form of a postcard.
Participation in the digital flash mob can be easy and brief. Send us a digital postcard offering your thoughts, visions, or speculations about the en dehors garde. Please create within these productive constraints:
Words: 140 characters up to 500 words
Images: 300 dpi +
Video: Send us a link to a YouTube or Vimeo video (3 minutes max).
Audio: Upload your file to SoundCloud and send us the link (3 minutes max).
We welcome other creative combinations of text, image, and digital media.
Include your name and email address, and indicate your preference for having your name, a pseudonym, or anonymous designation attached to your postcard. Then copy & paste your content, upload your digital postcard, or send us a link. You’ll be under no obligation to go back and revise or resubmit (though the Digital Junkanoo Managing Editor will review and approve each submission before publishing them on this site).
Deadline for submissions: Feb 21, 2023 (Fat Tuesday)
