ART ALOUD!
So Nic arrived with his brainstorm ... he'd been kinda talking about it for a while now, even before my working holiday in the Queen's country ... so there I was, back at the office on the first day barely settled in and we're organising a Fringe Festival for Carifesta.
Nicholas is right. The time is now. Now is the time.
Here we are young, rebellious, non-conformist even ... breaking the taboos of our forefathers, asking the questions that have not been asked ... yet, still living under the umbrella of the "allowed art".
For all their good intentions, those who have gone before us have just about managed to cage us ... locked us into this imaginary world where the only thing that makes us real is if we continue to dance and sing and write and paint about the sun and the sea and the sand and the coconuts and ... but massa day done ... so dey say ... done ... and yet...
So soldiers ... we arise from tribes schooled in the art of war ... in this time of war ... and seek to claim ... to reclaim our spaces and reflect our identity ... live Art Aloud! ... Art Allowed here!
