1.2: Evidence of Visiting Local Scene

1.2: When We Visited Nettie Horn..

We also visited Nettie Horn as part of the local media scene. When we got there we were slightly disappointed as we expected a large gallery with lots of different art when instead it was a small space with only a few bits of art. There was one room where all the artwork was situated and another room which projected pictures of landscapes on a screen and has background music. It contained very abstract art in which was confusing yet interesting at the same time.

This is the Nettie Horn business card.

1.2: When We Visited Museum Of Childhood..

We also visited the Museum Of Childhood as part of our local s

cene. It is a large gallery that has displays of toys and pictures which relate to childhood (hence the name). They have clothes that you can dress up in which resemble clothing that used to be worn in the 1900's. Each display of toys represents the change in children's entertainment over the years. It is an amazing venue and by going there, you are guaranteed an amazing time and an amazing experience.

In this photo is Alberta, Zara, Sabrina and I trying on some of the
clothes they had in the dress up section.

1.2: When We Visited Voice Of Africa Radio..

We went to Voice Of Africa Radio Station as part of one of our visits to our local media scene. When we went there, we met a student who was doing an apprenticeship there named, Adam Cooper. He told us a bit about what he does and that he studies Global African Politics at Nottingham University and sometimes features on the show. He eventually hopes to host his own show on the station. He shows a great passion for what he does and has an interest in journalism.
We also met another man named, Colin Robbins. He was from West Africa and knew a lot about the Nigerian Independence and informed us about it. He told us that he was a representative that came to talk on the radio station about there 40 years of independence and how proud they are.
Another man that we met, the chief executive of the radio station, was Space Colottey. He gave us a mini tour around the place and told us a bit about how the radio station started. The thing that inspired him to start up the radio station was all of the negativity towards Africans that was present when he first came to England. So he decided to create a radio station dedicated to the African community. They first started the radio station illegally (unlicensed) and they called this their "Jungle war fame" phase. When they became licensed, they became the first licensed African radio station in the whole of Europe. He seemed very dedicated and passionate about his work with the radio station and said that there was always to run the radio station no matter what. More or less everyone involved had sacrificed something for the station. He loves working on the station and is very proud of it. He says that he loves everyone apart of it too.
