Alvaro Barrington's homage to the women who shaped him

Be transported to the evocative, vibrant world of artist Alvaro Barrington in a major new installation at Tate Britain.

Barrington's personal exploration of identity and belonging is a journey in three parts honouring his grandmother, sister and mother.

He draws from personal memories across time and place, from his grandmother's Caribbean home where a thunderstorm hammers on the corrugated tin roof, to the exhilarating energy of Carnival. Tate Britain's Duveen Galleries are transformed into a space alive with sound, colour and texture.

This is Barrington’s poignant celebration of the people and places that make us feel we belong.

'GRACE is the constant reimagining of Black culture and aspirational attitude under foreign conditions. GRACE here explores how my grandmother, my mother, and my sister in the British Caribbean community showed up gracefully.'

- Alvaro Barrington
