CULTURAL ACTIVIST Elvis Radgman hopes the latest attempt at consultations for the October and national carnivals will not be “exercises in futility.”
Radgman said he fed up of consultations for events in Tobago, which he believes have yielded little or no benefit.
He was speaking at a Carnival stakeholders’ consultation at the Division of Community Development, Youth Development and Sport, Glen Road, Scarborough, on May 15.
The event, which targeted mas bandleaders and other members of the cultural fraternity, sought views on how Tobago’s October carnival and the island’s input in the national Carnival could be improved.
Niall George, assistant secretary, Division of Tourism, Culture, Antiquities and Transportation; Shelly Trim, the division’s administrator; Kern Cowan, Tobago Festival Commission Ltd’s CEO; and Jesse Taylor, cultural officer II, Department of Culture, sat at the head table. By Newsday’s count, approximately 50 people were in the audience. Read More
