More than a carnival. More than a book.
Carnival of Resistance is a photographic journey through Notting Hill Carnival — its people, music, movement, history and spirit.
Created by photographers Wayne Crichlow and Wayne Campbell, the book goes beyond the spectacle to explore Carnival as a living expression of Caribbean culture, community, identity and resistance.
Two distinct photographic perspectives come together to create a contemporary record of one of Britain's most important cultural celebrations.
Two photographers. Two perspectives. One shared story.
A photographic record made to last.
Carnival of Resistance brings together years of photography from inside Notting Hill Carnival — from Panorama and sound systems to Mas, community, resistance and the people who give Carnival its identity.
Presented as a substantial large-format hardback, it has been created not simply to document Carnival, but to preserve a contemporary record of its culture for years to come.
Hardback · 230 × 300mm · 250+ pages · First edition
Made to be looked at. Made to be kept.

Six decades of Carnival. Seen from within.

Across 256 pages, photographs by Wayne Campbell and Wayne Crichlow sit alongside the voices of people connected to Carnival, creating a record shaped not only by how Carnival looks, but by what it means to those who make it.
