💃🏾 Notting Hill Carnival 🔆
The noise booms, thumps and clashes in the streets. The dancers absorb the shockwaves, rolling their shoulders and shaking their jelly in the parade of garish feathers and glitzy jewels: birds of paradise that freshened up at the beauty parlour. Gnawed corn cobs, chewed chicken bones and empty cans of fizzy booze all pile up on the ground.
In the wake of Grenfell fire, the Carnival commemorates the lives that were lost and celebrates the lives that are left. You can feel the ecstatic release of a community for the weekend. A dizzy mix of sensations; a cacophony of colours.
