Since its beginnings in the late 1960s, St Pauls Carnival has existed to celebrate and shine a light on Afro-Caribbean culture, telling stories and exploring history through music, dance and community.
Following on from their second virtual Carnival back in July, the team have now put together a brand-new event to take online audiences back to its beginnings and tell the stories that led to its inception.
Each free-to-access session taking place as part of the Windrush Library will see three guest speakers take part in a panel discussion before opening things up for viewers to share their own experiences and make connections.
Sessions on the themes of Journey (10:30-12:20), Authenticity (13:00-14:50) and Growth (15:00-16:50) will be taking place on virtual events platform Remo on Saturday 21 August.
