Step into the vibrant world of carnival and explore its fascinating history, art, and cultural significance with Dr. Tiphaine Guillabert-Madinier, a distinguished historian specializing in early modern European culture.


In this engaging talk, Dr. Guillabert-Madinier will uncover the origins of carnival as a “festival of inversion,” its evolution across Europe and beyond, and its influence on art, literature, and identity. From Bruegel and Bosch to Shakespeare and Cervantes, discover how carnival has inspired masterpieces and sparked debates about faith, morality, and joy.


The evening will conclude with a festive Mardi Gras-themed buffet, complete with drinks, to celebrate the spirit of carnival.
