Trinidad
and Tobago has a very
highly developed visual,
creative culture
reflective of the islands
mixed ethnic roots.
• The
most obvious examples are
the ingenious designs of
the carnival bands that
invoke skills like wire
bending, copper beating,
and fiberglass molding in
addition to the
choreography involved in
its presentation.
• Peter
Minshall and other
carnival band designers
are known
internationally. Their
ideas and designs now
being copied and used all
over - Disney world etc.
The Barcelona Olympic
Games, 1992 and the
Atlanta Games in 1996
presented Minshall's work
to the world.
• Our
fine painters (Cazabon
1813-83) and noted
authors Naipaul, C L R
James, Samuel Selvon,
Eric Williams and Earl
Lovelace do us proud.
