Well-known designer and author Patrick Roberts, 65, hopes to publish a book about aspects of Carnival to leave a legacy.
But he has also been doing that through his popular medium band, Image Nation. He designed the band’s 2024 presentation, Jouvay – the Ballet of Life. He said it was not European-style ballet, but the "ballet" seen on Trinidad and Tobago’s streets every year in the movement of Carnival characters like the Bat.
He has been designing for the past 44 years and is also the author of Iron Love: A book of Desperadoes Steel Orchestra.
He will publish another manuscript in November called Jouvay, written while he worked on Image Nation’s 2024 designs. Roberts also said he would shortly publish Iron Love Forever, a fictional story about a pan side set in the 1960s. Read More
