I Wanna Do That!

The move from spectator to participant is a quantum leap. In New Orleans, thousands of people have joyfully made this leap to participate in marching krewes. To document this movement, I Wanna Do That!: The Magic of Mardi Gras Marching Krewes (IWDT) was born. Through IWDT we celebrate the creative impulse that moves someone from the sidewalk and into the street. Their creative team was on the street night and day to capture as much of the phenomenon as possible, photographing and tracking krewes in the 2020 Carnival season. We think marching krewes are extraordinary and believe you will too! I Wanna Do That! is a 9” x 11” hardcover book with 272 pages and 240 color-rich photographs that capture what  Mardi Gras historian Arthur Hardy calls, β€œthe most significant movement in Mardi Gras in decades.” Click on the image for more information & laissez le bons temps rouler!
