The exhibition was launched on September 13th, 2021 and continues until November 30th 2021.

This exhibition, "Yoruba Village", aims to tell the story of this outstanding community from Yoruba Village to Belmont, Gonzales, Laventille, and Morvant and back to Yoruba Village.  It will explore and showcase the customs, and traditions of the dynamic kingdoms that existed in that space - Rada, Igbo, Kongo, Ashanti, etc.- that informed our calypso, pan and many aspects of our Carnival portrayals.
