Tonight: Lorna Goodison, Caryl Phillips, and two Carnival films
Tonight Lorna Goodison and Caryl Phillips will be reading from their work at the Americas Society in New York, as part of the Society’s ongoing Literature Programme. (Thanks, Geoffrey Philp, for the tip–see this post at his blog for more information.)
And the StudioFilmClub run by artists Peter Doig and Che Lovelace in Port of Spain, Trinidad, will screen two documentaries about Trinidad Carnival: Up and Dancing: The Magic Stilts of Trinidad and Tobago (Harald Rumpf, 2007) and Carnival Roots (Peter Chelkowski, 2003).
