That’s marvellous!
It’s good that the BBC included the words of someone who worked with the artist.
Charlotte Hollinshead stated:
"This is a major, major moment for a lot of people. It's seismic. It's broken a very stubborn glass ceiling.”’
Yep Nnena Kalu is a Turner prize winner and her reaction is "whatever"... splendid!
Now if only I could learn to exercise that philosophy...
She accepted the honour while wearing a rosette bearing her photo and the words: "Idol, legend, winner, whatever."
She sounds amazing! Thanks for pointing out her work, recognised with a proper award for her ability, not just given a 'special' prize for her disability.
