As our contribution to the GCA-led symposium about Carifesta ’72. Moray House Trust collated ‘fragments‘ from the first Carifesta in 1972; fragments from performances, exhibitions and the memories of those who attended. In so doing, the Trust hails the work of Wilson Harris (dreams and dream sequences, the role of memory, questions of agency) and Kamau Brathwaite (who identified the ‘fragments within our societies and within ourselves’ and crystallised the challenge as ‘how to study the fragments/whole‘).
The recording lasts 35 minutes.
Russel Lancaster hosted a short Q&A session after the screening.
