Carnival... beyond the glitz of the parade
This series of photographs celebrate the art form, the cultural celebration of Carnival and the social element of how people come together for enjoyment whilst contributing to their ever- changing cultural heritage.
The photographs are two-dimensional marker of the social presence and value of Carnival in the UK, which has a strong historical legacy. With the presence of social media, the images mark a turning point in the representation of Black people in the 21st Century; YouTube, Instagram and Facebook, are offering similar perception, thereby differing from one of surveillance to one of ephemeral fame.
