Josette Bushell-Mingo28 August 2004
On getting more black people involved with the arts

When The Lion King opened in London in 1999, Josette Bushell-Mingo landed the role of Rafiki, the shaman baboon after several auditions.

In 2000 she set up a black-led arts festival known as Push. As this year's festival is about to begin, Josette tells Ritula Shah how the festival came about.


Push 04 is on from 1 September until 18 September
