Saturday 4 July | 11am–2.30pm

Migration. Memory. Music. Movement.

Taking place on Independence Day and the weekend St Pauls Carnival would ordinarily have filled Bristol's streets with music and movement, IndepenDance is a guided civic walking experience inspired by the life and legacy of Carmen Beckford MBE — community leader, cultural activist and co-founder of St Pauls Carnival.

Join Karnival King Julz Davis for a journey through Bristol's histories of migration, protest, carnival and cultural resistance through storytelling, film, public history and live conversation.

The experience begins at the RWA, where participants can explore Dance Out before gathering beside the bust of Carmen Beckford to begin the walk.

From there, participants will uncover Clifton's hidden and not-so-hidden multicultural and countercultural histories. Set within a neighbourhood shaped by wealth, empire, migration and cultural change, the walk explores how questions of power, belonging and representation continue to shape Bristol today.

Alongside the RWA, BMAG and Whiteladies Road, the route connects stories of migration, civil rights and the Bristol Sound, linking figures such as Raghbir Singh and the Bristol Bus Boycott with the former Coach House Studios associated with early Massive Attack recordings.

Returning to the RWA, the experience concludes with an performance from dancer Anna Demming, and an opportunity to explore, This is Jungle, a showcase of photographs and memorabilia documenting the evolution of jungle music in Bristol.

Part walking tour, part performance and part public conversation, IndepenDance invites participants to experience history not simply as something to remember, but as something to move through together.

Super comfy, but side strap is a bit annoying
Size: 9, Color: Black Leather
Honest review of these shoes that I just wore to a wedding. They are SO comfortable, I wore them all night and didn't need to take them off. The only issue is that since the one strap just goes along the one side of the top of your foot, I did feel like it kind of pushed the shoe to the side. It's hard to describe, but when I was walking sometimes I could feel my food shifting off my shoe on the side.

Comfy shoe, Not a great dupe
Size: 6.5, Color: Black Leather, Size: 6.5, Color: Black Leather
These are so cute and comfy and I love them. Minus two stars because I specifically bought them for the little silver SM on the bottom so they’d look better than the ones at Walmart. These did not come with the little silver logo on the bottom.

Super cute but came damaged & really annoying to walk in
Size: 8, Color: Black Leather, Size: 8, Color: Black Leather
Super cute but mine came damaged and the straps don’t stay up great… I love Steve Madden shoes, and own a few pairs already, so I had high hopes for these heels. I ordered these for a wedding coming up and I hadn’t opened the package right away as I was out of town, when I got back I was so excited to try them on only to find that they came already scuffed on the toes and heels!! It looked like they had been worn multiple times already, so that was upsetting. In terms of fit, I ordered a size 8, and it fit true to size as far at the sole goes, as for the strap that goes from in between your toes and around your heel, it falls off after taking 3 steps and is honestly really annoying! The strap that goes across the top of your foot was also wayyy loose on my feet and didn’t help the other strap stay in place much making it super difficult to walk in them, every step felt like they were about to fly off my feet! Unfortunately, I will be returning them.
