"For Choo Choo" organized by Maryam Yousif (online exhibition)

About the exhibition:

"I went into my selection thinking about my son Lukas, aka Choo Choo, who has recently turned one years old. My interest in what he sees, learns and experiences in life is so profound, and seeing these wonderful works of art at NIAD made me think about how he would perceive them, learn from them and ultimately enjoy them.

These are the types of pieces I'd want to put up in his bedroom so we can talk about them for a long time."
