Hello everybody! 9 year old Shayanna is our special guest blogger sharing her experience at the recent Somerset House exhibition “Get Up Stand Up Now: Generations of Black Creative Pioneers!“ in her own words… With the help of her friend, TravelmakingKai!
Re-blogged from www.travelmakerkai.com
It was so beautiful to watch her pick out her favourite pieces of work, read the information and make of it what she wanted of it; “I think I’ve heard of this before… This looks familiar” were some of her remarks – a wise girl beyond her years!
So inspired, this morning she woke you enthusiastic to write about it!
Today we went to Somerset house for an exhibition called “Get Up Stand Up Now.”
I really enjoyed the artwork because they were really imaginative and creative.
My favourite was the sculpture face of a man…He looked very familiar.
It was fun using the magnifying glass, Look at my eye!
Overall I had an AMAZING day with my auntie and my BEST FRIEND TravelmakingKai!
