In August 2014, I visited the annual Caribbean Carnival in Leicester as I do every year. As seen in the videos, it was dedicated to Nelson Mandela as he passed away earlier that year. The music played at the carnival strongly represents how I would like to influence my art and the costume could be interpreted into the figures I wish to include. I adore the upbeat calypso atmosphere which is a key aspect of rastafarianism. The music represents the celebration of being freed from slavery and discrimination. Lots of green and yellow is worn by the dancers which represents the African and Jamaican flags and also are extravagant and eye-catching colours.
