Over two days the children looked through the Permanent Collection, and chose the work together. The work is grouped as if they are in conversations about colour, or animals and the rural; others are an imagined conversation between shopkeepers. Roger Kite’s work Joining Forces prompted impactful contemplations on how two energies and colours can come together. We thank the children for taking this further, spending time imagining and writing these conversations down.
