About This Event
Linett Kamala gives a talk on how Notting Hill Carnival's Founding Mother Rhaune Laslett turned the tragedy of a racist murder into a triumphant display of community unity.
The talk aims to inspire us to take a proactive role in our local communities, even when faced with challenges using the case study of the South Kilburn CarniVale, a new music and wellbeing festival produced by Linett’s company Lin Kam Art.
Topics covered include leadership, regeneration, place making, community cohesion, festival culture and the universal power of the Arts.
