As a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts and an international carnival consultant, Pax is a keen advocate for the artform and holds talks and lectures around the world.
" Due to my self exile, I haven't been back home for over a decade and being involved with a Kenyan project is like going back home and sharing my knowledge. It is an opportunity to assist and collaborate with Kenyan creative minds and the students in the school who mean a lot to me having been involved with them from a distance. Its exciting that some of the arts will end up being showcased as part of my UK event in March "Global Carnival Showcase" where Kenya will be featured among carnival giants from Brazil, Trinidad and Venice. What most people are not aware is the carnival culture started in Africa and am so excited that some of the artistic content of this project will be that art form and believe the best carnival shall come from Africa if we continue initiatives such as this one. I commend Kadija and Sarafina for continuing the challenging work they are doing in Tumaini in these hard times"
