The new set in the Emotional Learning series – What do relationships mean to you?
Intimacy, sexual identities, love… what does it all mean? Making sense of our relationships and of the context for these experiences is something that, throughout time, artists from different disciplines and diverse cultures, have recognised the importance of. Sometimes this task requires that we explore our past and present from multiple perspectives.

The new set includes artist such as Sonia Boyce, Yinka Shonibare MBE and Chris Ofili and is now available via the Iniva Creative Learning website alongside our other Emotional Learning Cards in this series.
