Berkeley Carnival Revolution stands at the intersection of creativity and activism, serving as a platform for creatives and activists of minority groups. The band is committed to using natural and upcycled materials, embodying an environmentally and budget-conscious approach.
Beyond the parade route, our mission extends to empowering others to create mas from sustainable materials.
We believe in passing down the art of mas making to the new generation, ensuring that traditional skills are preserved and celebrated.
In our effort to bring Traditional Mas to a new generation, we recognize its often overlooked and undervalued status despite being the origins from which this rich culture has evolved into a multi-million-dollar industry.
Berkeley Carnival Revolution strives to bridge the gap, shedding light on the importance of Traditional Mas in the carnival narrative.
This authentic expression, often overshadowed, is the heart of our cultural heritage, attracting tourists and locals alike.
Join us on a journey where art, advocacy, and carnival spirit collide, making a powerful statement for a more inclusive, just, environmentally conscious, and culturally rooted world.
