Carnival as a whole is a platform for self-expression; either of your fullest true self or an aspect of who you are. This includes who you choose to associate with and how you share yourself with the world,” says Brad Baard, Creative Director for Cape Town Carnival. #Ctcarnival2020 #incrediblejourney2020 #CTCworkshops Thank you to our incredible sponsors: City of Cape Town, MultiChoice Group, Department of Arts and Culture, DStv, Western Cape Government, Media24, Kfm 94.5 and Tsogo Sun
