When looking at the life on City Road (‘The Street’, 2009) and observing what happens throughout the course of a day, it is clear that the road is used by a variety of people for many different reasons.

This excerpt was taken from the testimony of a runaway Cuban slave on a typical Sunday in which rituals of bathing, music and dance all take place in the name of the holiday.
