If you want to step out of the fearsome heat there are two exhibitions to delight you, both being part of the Project a Black Planet Season.

On the ground floor a special space has been allocated to Carnival …

Get up close to some of the work that makes Carnival both an art form and a celebration …

Something there for all the family – slip on a headset and get in the mood!

The signage is excellent, and very informative about events you can participate in …

Upstairs in the Library is Harmony, a wonderful new body of work by Jo Aidoo, I really liked it …

You can read an interesting interview with her here.

‘Mental Health Awareness’ …

The Princess of Wales …

Malcolm X …

Taylor Swift …

And much, much more …

Joyful too …

I couldn’t recommend a visit more highly.

In other news, the Barbican cacti are thriving. They must really feel at home in this weather …
