"Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro was historically an event by Brazilians for
Brazilians. In recent years, however, this has changed,
particularly in Carnaval's most visible event, the Samba School
competition. Whereas participants were exclusively Brazilian,
predominantly black, and of the lower classes, Carnaval has evolved into
an event in which large numbers
of white Brazilians and foreginers have had an ever-increasing
presence. Other aspects of Carnaval, most notably blocos or street
celebrations, have stayed close to their traditional roots. Through the
use of photos, films, and costumes, Garcia will explore the state of
Carnaval, recent changes in various aspects of the celebrations, and the
social, economic, and political forces that drove these changes".
