Tate Exchange
In the past year, you may have noticed, Britain and its place in the world has been on our minds. Back in late 2016 we started a series of research residencies responding to a call which had asked for artists whose practice considered our relationship with Europe.
Our selected artists responded with project ideas connecting to, with and by refugees and migrants. In October 2017 we presented Henna Asikainen’s project Forage, and Juan delGado’s film programme Common Ground as part of the biennial Arts and Refugee festival Platforma in Newcastle. We also hosted a talk by Newcastle-based artist Isabel Lima, where she presented her installation Gresham Horse, which took place in Middlesbrough.
Alongside Isabel, we've now been invited by Counterpoints Arts to share this work as part of Tate Exchange’s Who Are We? Art, Migration and the Production of Democracy. It's taking place at the Tate Modern from 22-27 May. If you are in London next week, come along.
