Launching in 2023, 'Portraits of Mas' is a powerful project born from Thompson's profound exploration of her identity. Skillfully captured by the talented Brianna Roye, these photographs illuminate the unwavering resilience and strength of the queer community within the Caribbean diaspora.
Each image encapsulates their vulnerabilities, and resilience. And within the embrace of mas, they discover a euphoric sense of liberation. With every step on de road, they forge their own path towards empowerment, and fearlessly challenge societal norms and binaries.
At the core of this series lies the powerful tagline: "For she, for he, for them." Radiating an unapologetically inclusive ethos, it extends an open invitation to all queer masqueraders within the Caribbean diaspora to embrace their authentic selves.
