🍁“You cannot be what you do not see.” this

🍁“You cannot be what you do not see.” this is the quote that came across my mind while inside the @hornimanmuseumgardens , I could feel my inner child craving every piece, every collection and exhibition carefully curated to make us all feel like we were a part of the museum, like we had made it ourselves.

🇳🇬Being Nigerian was celebrated, being Black was celebrated, I felt so safe as Iexplored. My favourite being An Ode to Afrosurrealism by @_adamajalloh and @mai_ye , immortalizing the dimensions of Blackness, softness and passion, we need more generations to witness its beauty. A door opened for us, a space just for us to tell what we needed and wanted to tell .

👩🏾‍🎨For a lot of Black people you will enter galleries and see hundreds of art that does not tell your story, that doesn’t acknowledge your existence, your history, just everything wonderful about you. It’s so important to remember you deserve to be seen and shown, frames and frames of your stunning complexion. Leaving the museum at the end of the day was bittersweet but I knew I’d return one day, bringing family and friends that needed to also experience this magical day.😍 #MuseumTripping @studentartpass #weareartful

✨🦋🌾When you think about your earliest memo

✨🦋🌾When you think about your earliest memories, what comes to mind? Is it a family member, your favourite teddy, a blur of images and colours? For me it’s anywhere there's trees or the soft breeze and salty sea air, it sounds cliche but home wasn’t always the house you lived in exactly, but where you felt the most comfortable too. 🏡

Being around the butterflies was so calming, a return to childhood freedom and play. Memories of nature turning into something tangible, something only you can imagine and reminisce over, something completely unique to you and your seneses💃🏾.
