When Tate Lates launched a decade ago, partying among priceless artworks felt like a truly wild idea. Now, these Friday night sessions are an established part of London's cultural landscape, bringing younger art fans through the Tate Modern's doors each month, and exploring all the cultural meeting points between visual and sonic artforms.
In honour of the tenth anniversary of Tate Lates, it's throwing an extra special edition with a big headliner: Shygirl, who'll bring her legendary club night to South Tank, with DJ sets from BAMBII, JD Reid and Manni Dee against visual backdrops from the Swallow! universe. You'll also find sets from Wrap Collective, Ms. Sankofa and Naima Adams around the building. Or check out performance poetry from Apples and Snakes, contribute to a collaborative artwork from Lakwena, or go on special after hours tours of the gallery with a focus on LGBTQIA+ artists or artists of African heritage.
