Entry 15 - 4/19
With my senior seminar coming to a close, the conversation
about place as a reflection the spirit of a space could not have come at a
better time. Throughout the discussion
it became very apparent to me that the Trinidadian identity reflected, for my
senior seminar paper, in Carnival on the island was a collective performance experience
that encompassed the 'place' in which Trinidad finds itself. This sense of 'place' reflects the
Trinidadian identity, which the people of the island nation pride themselves on
showing the world through their Carnival festival. Trinidad as a place is a mixture of multiple
nationalities, a diverse political and cultural history, and a promising
future. Carnival serves as the physical representation
of 'place' and in turn identity for the Trinidadian people.
