The Latin Community Carnival

Part 1 Project 2016

 University of Brighton | UK
The aim of the Latin Community Carnival is to engage with the local residents of Elephant and Castle by educating them in daily life skills that orientate around the carnival preparations, for instance learning dress making through designing and creating carnival dresses. The Carnival itself would also be interactive, incorporating mechanical cocktail machines into the festivities where carnival goers would pull on levers to create a carnival cocktail.
