Grand Kadooment Day


> PLAY THE VIDEO

Film by David Bickerstaff
Video | 16:9 | 8 minutes

This film was produced while making 'Crop Over', a project by the artist Sonia Boyce. Crop Over festival in Barbados comes out of the convergence of different histories and spaces. Grand Kadooment Day is the pinnacle of the Crop Over festival. Surrounded by Mas bands, dancers and street revellers, we are submerged into the heady world of masquerade and the carnivalesque.
.

'Crop Over' was commissioned by Harewood House Trust and the National Art Gallery Committee, Barbados, with financial support from the Arts Council of England and the Prime Minister’s Office, Barbados.
