Following an incredible decade-long successful partnership with the Rory and Elizabeth Brooks Foundation and Delfina Foundation, Tate is excited to mark this definitive milestone of the Brooks International Fellowship with a major symposium.
Since 2014, Brooks International Fellows have been at the forefront of research at Tate, showcasing the range of research activity taking place across the organisation. These international visual arts professionals have collaborated with Tate in a range of disciplines including curatorial, learning, community and partnerships, collection care, research and interpretation, digital practice and visitor communications.
This event brings together former Fellows and those who have hosted them at Tate and Delfina Foundation. The event will trace how the Fellowship has opened Tate’s practices to international voices, enabling engagement with innovative practices developed in other parts of the world.
The symposium also considers the broader significance and impact of the research. Sessions explore themes which resonate with the Fellows, including Socially Engaged Practices, Community Building, Friendship, Internationalism and Transnationalism. How are these themes traced across multiple disciplines and practices, across a myriad of regional nuances and perspectives?
We welcome those attending in person to join us for a sandwich lunch and an early evening networking reception.
