Скачать или смотреть Imagine That: Kids ask questions with professional artist Tavares Strachan

What do kids want to know about artists and the creative process behind the artworks they produce? After a visit to our Hayward Gallery exhibition, There Is Light Somewhere, we gave a group of primary school children free rein to quiz the artist behind the works, Tavares Strachan.
‌
Speaking to his young audience, Strachan talks about his use of unconventional materials such as hair and grass, the important role that collaborating plays in creating art and whether you need to be ‘good at art’ to be an artist. ‘When I was younger I thought being an artist meant being proficient, having a high skill level… as I got older, I learned that it’s good to have something to say with your art,’ Strachan explains.

New York-based, Bahamian artist Tavares Strachan is dedicated to telling stories about extraordinary figures overlooked by official histories. As an artist he works in a broad range of creative mediums, from neon works to bronze sculptures, large-scale installations to collages, and his pieces offer a fascinating introduction to the storytelling power of art for younger audiences.

Tavares Strachan: There Is Light Somewhere is at the Hayward Gallery until Sunday 1 September.
