Join us for the premiere of a new film exploring art and environmental activism

When does practice become protest, or art, activism? Fiona Cunningham-Reid’s Ackroyd & Harvey: The Art of Activism offers an intimate look at the artists’ lives, their work with Extinction Rebellion, and co-founding Culture Declares Emergency. This world premiere will be followed by a conversation with the artists and guests.

All Tate Modern entrances are step-free. You can enter via the Turbine Hall and into the Natalie Bell Building on Holland Street, or into the Blavatnik Building on Sumner Street.

There are lifts to every floor of the Blavatnik and Natalie Bell buildings. Alternatively you can take the stairs.

Fully accessible toilets are located on every floor on the concourses.
A quiet room is available to use in the Natalie Bell Building on Level 4.
Ear defenders can be borrowed from the Ticket desks.
