Abstract

This paper navigates through the thematic highlights of the 10th International Conference on Carnival and Masquerade Arts held at the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana. The narrative unfolds through the lens of the conference coordinator and lead research assistant, offering insights into the pre-conference preparations, the rhythmic execution of academic and workshop sessions, the dynamic exchange of ideas during networking opportunities and the post-conference reflections. It also explores the challenges faced, the successes celebrated, and the enduring impact of the conference on the global discourse surrounding carnival and masquerade arts which created a visual and auditory feast that resonated with participants. This reflection invites readers to embark on a virtual expedition, experiencing the rhythmic heartbeat of carnival and masquerade arts as witnessed and curated during the 10th International Conference in Winneba, Ghana.
