Can arts change the way people perceive a community?
I had the opportunity to visit the 4th edition of the Chale Wote Street Festival and was amazed by the numbers of people who turned up; despite misconception residents from Jamestown are violent and unaccommodating.
The whole street was covered with arts; cycling, skating, spoken word, graffiti, modeling, boxing and acrobatics. It is arguably the biggest street arts festival in the whole of the country.
