On the evening of 4 December, Late at Tate Britain: Celebrity, a free-entry event, uncovers the relationship between status and celebrity through music, installation, performance, and discussion with artists, musicians and performers.
Late at Tate is a peer-led programme, with the content for each event curated exclusively by 15-25 year olds from Tate Collective London. Tate Collective London host a range of free events and festivals for young people to experiment, create and innovate through art and ideas. Late at Tate is part of the national Circuit programme, led by Tate and funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation. Circuit engages young people in the arts with a focus on encouraging those with least access to galleries and museums.
Highlights include:
- Music by odd-pop trio Joey Fourr, and Reprezent Radio, the UK’s only radio station presented by young people under the age of 25.
- Workshops and performances by the Tate Collection poet Jemima Foxtrot, exploring notions of celebrity culminating in a flash mob poetry performance and an installation performance by fashion journalist collective Best City Fashion.
- Installations including large scale projections of reworked Tate Collection artworks from Brooklyn based multi-media artist Rafia Santana.
- A discussion about style and celebrity status, a display of rare, exclusive trainers and trainer art and a film screening of celebrities talking about their trainer collections by Crep Protect.
Late at Tate is a free, drop-in event. Spaces are available on a first come, first served basis.
