Vibrance Mas
Who We Are Vibrance Mas is a London-based costume and t-shirt band dedicated to empowering individuals to feel bold, beautiful, and proud while celebrating one of the world’s largest cultural events. Our Mission We focus on sustainability and inclusivity, using recyclable materials to create innovative designs that celebrate carnival traditions and raise awareness of environmental and social issues. Design and Collaborations Our costumes merge contemporary style with traditional mas to tell meaningful stories. The band has been mentored by Melissa Simon-Hartman, Carl Gabriel, and Peter Samuel. Cee the lead designer, is also a Rosetta Arts artist and was honoured to be one of two carnival artists in the Carnival Catwalk (Trinidad). Community Engagement Vibrance Mas is dedicated to educating and uniting people through carnival. From working with schools like Chobham Academy (Newham), we celebrate carnival’s heritage while creating a welcoming and inclusive environment. We strive to involve all areas of the community, ensuring everyone has a footprint in carnival, especially people that feel they are too old to play mas. An Intimate Experience We offer an intimate, family-like atmosphere where masqueraders feel seen and valued, ensuring they never feel lost in the crowd. We aim to build confidence to bring together and empower women of all ages.
