Kidbrooke Carnival and the Talent Tent
Here are a few images from today's Kidbrooke Carnival which featured the Scrap Kingdom Party. Artists from Taru, supported by a grant from the Arts Council and Thomas Tallis School, worked with several local schools and community groups for three weeks to create carnival costumes, samba drums and recycling monsters. Today, the various groups met in Sutcliffe Park where the parade began at midday. Winding its way through the Ferrier Estate, collecting local residents along the way, the parade eventually arrived in Telemann Square where the crowd and participants were treated to drumming and dancing, fresh fruit, a welcome drink and capoeira. Art4Kidbrooke was represented by the Talent Tent. Here, local people could offer their views of the Art4Kidbrooke project, nominate a talent and register their contact details so that we can continue to provide activities and events that respond to local people's needs. The day was a huge success thanks to the energy and enthusiasm of the artists and participants.
