This piece written by the clash collective, explores the historical origins and political significance of Caribbean Carnivals, exploring traditions such as Jamaican Jonkonnu, Trinidadian jouvert, and their counterparts across the region. Contending that beyond the festive surface, Carnival embodies a profound critique of political authority and a call for autonomy, rooted in the rebellious spirit of African Diasporic communities. The piece examines the transformative power of Carnival as a vehicle for reshaping post-colonial conditions, challenging the notion of a "native without culture" and advocating for a rediscovery of Caribbean heritage. Drawing on the insights of thinkers like Sylvia Wynter, the article argues for a reclamation of Carnival's hidden meanings and a renewal of its role as a catalyst for grassroots politics and self-governance. Thus putting forth the space to explore  Carnival not merely as a cultural decoration but as a potent force capable of de-stooling modern post-colonial political chiefs through direct action and creative masquerades.
