As part of our Power to Change programme, we're inviting families of all ages to a series of activities on how sound, nature and technology help shape our world. You'll be able to listen, explore and dance your way through activities based in The Tanks, the world's first gallery to be dedicated to live art.
Tanks Foyer
Starting in our Tanks Foyer, you’ll collect headsets to go on an audio journey created by Dan Scott. You’ll listen to surprising sounds of nature and children’s ideas for the future. You’ll also hear questions from artist Rajni Shah about our relationship to planet earth, and interact with dancer Aya Kobayashi who will explore the space with you and teach you movement inspired by the world around us, from water to the roots beneath our feet.
East Tank
In the East Tank, you can relax in the ‘living room’ - a storytelling session using silent disco headphones where you’ll hear futuristic visions from artists, scientists and poets, through poetry and conversation.
From there, you can visit the digital Coding Station, an innovative, interactive session by HackerFemo. You’ll collect data from around Tate and be shown how this is used to track and test the quality of the air we breathe. There’ll also be demonstrations for kids, using food waste to make smoothies as well as a chance to add to The Great Imagining Ideas Machine, a growing structure made of recycled materials by The House of Fairy Tales.
