Description:
Transforming cardboard and fabric from Junkanoo costumes into permanent works of art, Beadle and Munroe spotlight the hidden and the undervalued in society
The Bahamas Pavilion for the 2026 Venice Biennale combines the work of John Beadle (1964-2024) and Lavar Munroe (born 1962), two artists united by their work with recycled materials from the Junkanoo masquerade, a centuries-old Bahamian tradition.
