Indigo prxject 2024: celebration of life

During our 2024 project we embarked on a vibrant and empowering journey, culminating in a Carnival Celebration of Life party at Lift Hub, Islington. This free community event brought together elements of Caribbean culture, featuring live carnival performers, a DJ, and activities such as BBQ, mocktails, face painting, games, and goodie bags. The event was a joyful expression of life, celebrating the creativity and energy of the young participants.

In addition to the Carnival Celebration event, our project proudly participated in the Notting Hill Carnival’s opening ceremony, showcasing young dancers adorned in stunning costumes and body paint, which were collaboratively designed and created during our youth workshops. These sessions were dedicated to teaching traditional carnival arts and encouraging creative self-expression, allowing the youth to immerse themselves in the cultural significance of carnival while developing new skills.

The success of the project not only highlighted the talents of our young dancers but also strengthened community bonds through the celebration of culture, art, and togetherness.
