Austin is a hub of different cultures and heritage, and for those wishing to show others where they come from, Carnival ah! 2012: How Did You Get Here? provides such an opportunity. The event, sponsored by the Arts & Humanities Division and the Center for Public Policy & Political Studies, will take place April 11-12 at the Rio Grande Campus. The annual event explores Austin's regional heritage through art, dance, drama, creative writing, language, food and film. For students who would like to showcase such talents, proposals are now being accepted.
Carnival ah! 2012: How Did You Get Here? is looking for students who would like to gain a better understanding and appreciation of their neighbors, history and humanities as well as express and define their identity and community. Students can submit proposals for any of the following categories until Feb. 17: dance, music, theater or performance arts shocases, visual arts, readings, lectures, workshops, forums or presentations, craft display and demonstration booths, outdoor classrooms or film.
Students who submit a performance piece should note that each performance must be at least 20 minutes long but no longer than two hours. For those students whose performances are less than 20 minutes but still wish to perform, each event will provide an open mic opportunity. All events must include time for Q-and-A or discussion, which does not have to be factored into the event duration.
