A World of Festivals | Barry Sloane | 1987 | ACMI collection

A series which captures the appeal, colour and cultural tradition of European festivals and their locations. The rituals, forms of behaviour, dress, music, folklore and fun behind each event are explored, so that a fascinating and colourful picture of other societies’ culture and traditions is presented.
