Late At Tate Britain - 06.06.14

Posted: Apr, 7th 2015

 

Late at Tate is a programme of events for young and diverse audiences held at Tate Britain on a bi-monthly basis; featuring music, film, fashion and live performance.

The next Late at Late is looking at the notion of Inhabitation. Taking inspiration from artwork in the Tate Collection and the Phyllida Barlow commission, Tate Collective London and student ambassadors from University of the Arts London’s widening participation programmes, have collectively programmed a series of workshops, talks, performances, and live music that explore themes and ideas central to Barlow’s work. 

The evening will explore what it means to occupy space through sound and visuals focusing on issues of displacement, marginalisation, and feminism. Explore Tate Britain and its collection in new and interesting ways. 

This event is a collaboration between University of the Arts London and Tate Britain.
