London South Bank University and Wimbledon School of Art: Tate Encounters
Funded by the AHRC, Tate Encounters is a three year research project between Tate Britain, London South Bank University (the Social Policy and Urban Regeneration Research Institute and within it the Families and Social Capital ESRC Research Group) and Wimbledon School of Art/University of the Arts.
The project will produce in-depth case studies of how fifty London migrant families, primarily from the African/Caribbean and Asian diasporas, encounter Tate Britain and the National Collection of British Art over a three year period. The resulting body of material developed by the families and the researchers will form the basis for three inter-related evaluations and analysis of; visual culture and narratives of Britishness; cultural diversity policy and museums; and models of participant museum education practice.
