Arts Council International Carnival logoThe second On Route International Carnival Conference will take place at the Camden Centre from 17-19 October 2005. Coordinated by the London Borough of Camden, the conference forms part of the Arts Council’s National Carnival Arts Strategy which was launched in June with the aim of supporting the cultural, artistic and professional development of carnival arts in the near future.

On Route is a three-day conference aimed at national and international carnival artists, organisers, academics, funders and supporters of carnival arts. The conference aims to raise the profile of carnival arts by highlighting exciting new developments and encouraging national and international networking opportunities. It is an essential ingredient of Black History Month and hosts International guests from Africa, the Caribbean and Europe.

Each day the conference will feature a keynote speech followed by presentations, panel discussions and breakout sessions. Time will also be allocated for open business meetings and surgeries. Keynote speeches will be presented by: Dr Hollis Urban Lester Liverpool, lecturer, author, historian and political pundit; Pax Nindi, Carnival Officer at Arts Council England and conference director; and Dr Henry Antonie, ICCA founding member and president of the World Carnival Commission.

Pax Nindi, Senior Officer, Combined Arts, Arts Council England, said:
‘Following the success of the first conference, carnival experts from around the world are hoping to take part and research new partners in the UK – a positive outcome for carnival arts in this country’.
