Yara + Davina's Pet Balloon Service
How did you decide what to name your pet? From places to locations, the process of turning a word into a name can have a fascinating tale and artist duo YARA + DAVINA want to hear them. For this joyful public artwork, they’re giving away balloon animals in the Royal Docks in exchange for stories about why people name their pets.

Suitable for all ages.
