A thought-provoking, insightful art exhibition showing how
the world's children feel about water opened at the Royal Society of Chemistry
in London earlier this week.
Schoolchildren from Europe and Africa were asked to express
their feelings when thinking about water. The results from the different
continents are striking and fascinating.
Curated by Barry Phipps, curator for Kettle's Yard museum
and art gallery and Fellow of Churchill College, Cambridge, the exhibition will
run for two weeks at the RSC's headquarters in Burlington House - the building
they've shared with the world-renowned Royal Academy of Arts for the past 150
years.
This exhibition forms part of a global celebration of the
International Year of Chemistry, as the chemical sciences play a vital role
providing safe, clean drinking water across the world.
