Interesting Facts about the Carnaval and its masks

The wearing of the mask is a way for people to hide their social status and identity and socialize with whoever they wanted to freely.

It allows people to interact with other people from different social standings without being judged.

Carnival typically involves public celebrations

This includes events such as parades, public street parties and other entertainments, combining some elements of a circus.

Elaborate costumes and masks allow people to set aside their everyday individuality and experience a heightened sense of social unity.

Carnaval time is a time to eat, dance, and be happy! ☺

Exposición de un trabajo realizado por los estudiantes sobre:

52 of 83

La cultura de México es el producto de una mezcla de culturas y tradiciones con la presencia colonial española.

Los colores predominan en la decoración de la casa así como las “catrinas”, unas calaveras típicas de México alegres, floridas y con vestidos de colores.

Las catrinas son una de las tradiciones mexicanas más arraigadas y su origen se remonta a principios del siglo XX, cuando eran una forma común de denuncia y de crítica social en las publicaciones de la época, sobre todo se utilizaban en las caricaturas y principalmente eran calaveras que solo llevaban un sombrero en la cabeza. Esto era un crítica al pueblo mexciano que era pobre pero que aun así querían dar otra apariencia.
