Zigwa Carnival April 2012 | Page 3

Photo by Michael Norgriff immerses itself in every expression of T&T's creative culture in order to record, preserve and share art. Our library currently contains thousands of images of cultural events, including Emancipation Day celebrations, the lighting of deyas during Divali, Phagwa jovality and, of course, Carnival. As artists, educators, and award-winning Mas designers, sharing this knowledge is a lifestyle to us. This book features some of the most poignant images we've captured of Trinidad Carnival and Children's Mas; traditional and contemporary costuming, steel pan, and a wide cross-section of enthusiastic revelers and spectators. The selection is as diverse as the masqueraders, and we're particularly proud of multiplicity we are able to capture. We invite you to come explore Carnival through our eyes and experience the beauty of our festival. THE TEAM: James Hackett, Kerhann Jones, Warren Le Platte, Kenwyn Murray, Michael Norgriff.
