un)common space is a new experimental co-working space and artist development programme connecting young artists from underrepresented backgrounds to Tate’s staff, space and collection.
The co-working space is an open invitation to young artists, creatives and cultural producers to use Tate in a different way. It offers space to work and connect with others. Make the most of free Wi-Fi, tables, sofas, plugs and tea and work alongside other creatives and Tate staff.
As part of (un)common space, join a series of Show and Tell sessions designed to encourage young creatives to share ideas, advice and feedback with each other in a supportive environment.
As founding members of (un)common space, Thick/er Black Lines host informal artist development sessions, a free reference library and social responses to Tate's displays and collections.
+ A show and tell workshop led by Thick/er Black Lines to share the context they are working in, share advice and give feedback with others. The session focuses on curatorial projects and strategies with a focus on perspectives on and from women in curating in the diaspora with 'Soul of a Nation' curator Zoe Whitely.
+ Responding to Tate Britain's current display 'London: 1968' commonly associated with student protests in Paris and artists in London. Thick/er Black Lines drop-session 'Fear of a Black Planet' visualises insurgences in 1968 Montreal, USA and Jamaica. Programmed for 'Late at Tate Britain: Che Fare?'
