Carifesta X Launch

Carifesta X (August 22 - 31, 2008)

CARIFESTA stands for the Caribbean Festival of Arts. It is the region's roving, multidisciplinary, mega arts festival which attracts a wide range of creative artists from various Caribbean and Latin American Countries. CARIFESTA was the culmination of the idea that started in 1970 when participants at an Artists and Writers Convention in Guyana complained about the absence of an outlet to showcase the rich cultural heritage of the Region and at the same time give recognition to its outstanding artists and art forms.

Carifesta History

Carifesta is for and about the people of this region; the 'folk' who remain the foundation and the driving forces of our collective nations. These are the unsung ones, who remember the solid values, the respect, the honesty and the simplicity. They make it their purpose, their raison d'etre to behave as true elders do, and bestow their knowledge and experience on the younger ones. As such, every time this region holds a Carifesta it is deepening its commitment to its people and reaffirming its understanding of the value and power of our collective cultures. Read more...

I think this would be a great event, but would every region be able to take part. What about region 6 . How much of a participation would they have?

Tresha (2008-05-23 07:45:05)
I think this will be a great event but only if it could also come to region(6).
