John Canoe Lace and Heels, 2021

Artist Sokari Douglas Camp CBE has created two larger than life sculptures as Homage to Carnival. Mounted on a make shift carnival float, these sculptures will be placed in front of The Design Museum, where her work once stood when it was formerly the Common wealth Institute. “The Notting Hill Carnival has nourished London, especially its international communities. I am hoping the display of Carnival characters will lift spirits in the city.”
